However when you're watching a movie in $player and you hit your multimedia
volume keys, you are actually modifying the system volume level, not the
application volume level. Therefore I believe changing the volume using
your keyboard (which is handled by kmix) should always show the system OSD
for volume, application should handle when you change the application
volume (using the app's shortcut).
