This mail follows a thread that's just been happening, but due to the wonders of gmail I have accidentally deleted it :( Anyway it's to do with kmix not behaving...
Strange about gamix not working for you because alsamixergui and qamix don't work at all for me (can't move the sliders).
It seems kamix has been renamed kalsamix (http://kalsamix.sourceforge.net/). I don't know whether it will dock (I haven't tried it and I am not at my own workstation at the moment). However there are some debs at
http://www.autistici.org/debian-xgl/debian-incoming/kalsamix/ so you can always give a it a try.
