If you do not see the option, it means that the kde multimedia system is configured to work with phonon and not alsa. I do not remember where to configure this in the kde settings. Kevin Koffler pointed this one out to me and is documented at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KDE_PulseAudio_Integration At the bottom there is the section called "Release Notes" and there you will find the following information. Of course, you will have to logoff and back on to your KDE session to be able to see the change. Users of KMix will notice that most of their hardware sound controls are no longer shown in the default (PulseAudio-based) interface. To get access to these controls, close KMix (use right-click / quit) and restart it by running KMIX_PULSEAUDIO_DISABLE=1 kmix in a Konsole terminal. To make this change permanent, add export KMIX_PULSEAUDIO_DISABLE=1 to your ~/.bashrc file.
