Thats a good sign. :-)

Yes. Just right-click the tray icon and you should something like "Select 
master channel ...".

There are two drawbacks.
1) KMix fails to restore the setting on one soundcard family (Audigy2 IIRC).
2) And it looks like a last-minute bugfix was done for KDE3.5, which makes 
changing the master behave strangly (e.g. no immediate update/repaint of the 
tray icon status).
