I'm not sure about this theory, but I guess that's it:
* DMIX doesn't sit on top of PCM, so adjusting PCM doesn't
work for you
* Most applications with volume controls do it wrong. They
control the PCM or the master volume of the soundcard. This
is wrong. As soon as an application has an volume control, it
should control its own volume, not PCM nor Master
So I fear you have less chance.
