Description: Turn off the magic that kmix does to determine the 
"master" volume control. Always assume that the zeroth control is 
the master one. The line that I commented out is certainly incorrect. 
This "fix" will not be accepted by the KDE team because it's 
ideologically wrong, but they don't currently have a good one.

Applies to owners of FM801-based soundcards, maybe others. You can 
hard-code the relevant control number in the first m_masterDevice = ... anyway.
