Sure, the name name must always be readable, but not the objectName(). So I changed it, and shortcuts work. The shortcuts are also saved, e.g. as:
kmix\x01Increase Volume - PCM, Sound Fusion CS46xx=Shift+O

But there is still an issue: The global shortcuts are *not* recognized after restarting KMix.

Also the shortcut dialog shows no shortcuts. When trying to reasign the same Shortcut to exactly the *same* action, I get a message:

   The 'Shift+O' key combination has already been allocated to the global action "Increase Volume - PCM, Sound Fusion CS46xx" in kmix.
   Do you want to reassign it from that action to the current one?

?!?

So the shortcuts are known, but not assigned to the actions. Why? What can I do here? I have already played around a lot, like also adding the actions to the global actionCollection(), but that didn't help either.

PS: XF86AudioMute, XF86AudioLowerVolume, XF86AudioRaiseVolume don't work - for whatever reason. I alread stopped KMilo (strange ...)
