I also suggested Extragear. But I am starting to wonder whether this approach makes sense. I mean, it is not active by default. So there should be no harm in activating it. Hmmm, I wish we could discuss this face to face. Ot at least on IRC, Jabber, ...

> As you can see from the screenshot, the applet is pretty much functional: you can display all the controls available, change its orientation, and decide to whether show all of them or just the Master Control, and refresh its status when new controls are added/removed/updated (such as Amarok current playing track). See screenshots below :)

This requires KMix to be patched. Furthermore, if you click "KMix Setup" button, KMix window will not restored anymore: this needs to be pathed as well.
