Nah, it's not related. My issue is that with KMix I can't get to the 
mixer controls of my sound card and thus I can't change stereo up-mix 
settings or change DAC settings. I also can't change the hardware volume 
(PulseAudio is unfortunately not smart enough at the moment to properly 
control the modern-style mixer controls, it only supports the legacy 
mixer control format.)

I can get to them with "alsamixer -c0" (or just "alsamixer" and then 
press F6 to switch to another device), but well, I like GUIs and was 
hoping I can do that from within the KMixer UI.
