(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmix
Version:           KDE 3.0.7 CVS/CVSup/Snapshot
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.4
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

The system tray volume mixer (single-click on systray icon) seems to take the first mixing element that the /dev/mixer provides at least when the mixer does not have a Master Volume. I have a device (USB speaker) that has three mixer elements in the following order:
1. Bass
2. Treble
3. PCM

KMix uses the Bass in the systray volume mixer which is pretty useless. The behaviour that I would is expect is that the mixer takes the master volume if there is one and if there is no master volume it should take the PCM volume.

This unfortunate behaviour still persists in KMix 1.91 (KDE 3.1.3 -- SuSE 8.2 
RPM). In addition, the mute function (from the tray icon context menu) mutes  
Bass instead of the (PCM) volume. Also, the Balance slider does not work have 
an effect other than the Bass slider going to zero and back to the initial 
volume. 
 
I have Harman Multimedia USB Sound Sticks, with ALSA 0.9.0rc7 (SuSE 8.2 RPM). 
artsd is configure to use ALSA in the control center.
