tooltpis are gone in rev2, see sebas comment ;)
The reason I didn't used a label with this layout is that it would take sooo much \
space but sure, this is an issue that must be addressed because the user must know \
which control he/she's going to modify ... I'll try to play with some wrapMode Label \
properties and see if I can get something usable and good looking.

(there is volume level percentage under the tooltip)
It isn't consistent with horizontal view where there is no such label. Also it \
duplicates the information from slider. And also it reacts pretty slow to the changes \
when user moves the slider (due to slowness of the chain \
plasma->dbus->kmix->backend->kmix->dbus->plasma), which is pretty \
frustrating.
A label (or a tooltip maybe?) with device name would be nice, because it is pretty \
hard to decide what volume am I changing when there are multiple cards (or just input \
and output sliders like in PulseAudio).</pre> </blockquote>

pretty much functional: you can display all the controls available, change its \
orientation, and decide to whether show all of them or just the Master Control, and \
refresh its status when new controls are added/removed/updated (such as Amarok \
current playing track). See screenshots below :) Differences from the old kmix tray:
* no media player controls ( I never investigated how to get them, but honestly \
opening the audio applet to change/skip/pause audio track makes little sense to me \
... if anyone wants this feature back, don't be shy and step in);
* the button used to select which Mixers are visible has been changed to open Phonon \
kcm page: since visible mixers are already configurable from KMix app, having a \
button to show KMix *and* a button to modify Mixers visibilty made little sense here \
too, so I preferred to give more visibility to Phonon kcm;
Known issues:
* there is still no way to get notified of mouse wheel events over the popupIcon, so \
it is not possible to scroll over to increase/decrease the master \
control volume;
* no scroll events over the sliders too;
* if you want to use the applet you most likely will disable KMix tray icon but, if \
you do so, KMix will show its GUI at every login and you have to close it manually. \
This requires KMix to be patched. Furthermore, if you click "KMix Setup" \
button, KMix window will not restored anymore: this needs to be \
pathed as well.
* resize doesn't work properly.</pre>
