Hmm, this method is for *assigning* a global shortcut, so this would  probably activate several hundred global keyboard shortcuts - 1 or 3 for each of the controls of the soundcard(s). At least this is what I read form the KAction documentation:

"When an action, identified by main component name and objectName(), is assigned a global shortcut for the first time on a KDE installation the assignment will be saved."

So I guess this leads to saving several hundred assignments, and restoring them during the start of KDE. I can try, but it sounds pretty bad performance-wise.
