Well, he was asking for a graphical alternative to alsamixer, which is what
KMix is. Now there may be other alternatives from XFCE etc., but I'm afraid
I'm not familiar with those. As for GNOME:

Indeed I wasn't aware of this. Mea culpa, and thanks for pointing it out to
me.

However, quoting from that feature page, this:

sounds like I wasn't too far off.

Now maybe that page is incorrect, so I'll ask: What options are there for
people who want to tweak their hardware mixer settings from GNOME for
whatever reason? Will this be possible from the volume applet/icon? From
the gnome-control-center? Or only from non-GNOME apps (e.g. alsamixer, KMix
etc.)?
