Hi,

A few month ago, I also had this problem. Finally decided to use
Arts::StereoVolumeControl, but I'm not that happy about it because not
everybody uses arts and it doesn't control /dev/mixer.

If I would reimplement it again (and maybe I do so because I run esd for
running head and 3.1 simultaneously), I would use kmix.
Unfortunately it's not always running and there is also the 'KMix Applet'
that can be in the kicker or applet-proxy-xxx object..

That would be nice. Please let me know if you found it..
