Perhaps its some weird issue with volume change events rushing into KMix at the wrong time (early during initialization). Looking at the KMix code I would say that this should not be a problem, but well. Lets just try it please. Yes, this change nothing. First start without PCM device and after a kmix restart PCM come back. This only difference is the volume which is correctly set after the second start. I have do some more test and if i start the "alsasound" script at gentoo starting, kmix start correctly (with or whithout saving the sound volume). So PCM is always present and they are no problem. This script only do an alsactl restoration (i can send you if you want). This solve my problem but kmix behaviour is not good if volume is not previously restored (or acceded) by some alsa-utils.
