I ssh into a box from across the room to change the volume in kmix
with this script in ~/bin/vol- :

#!/bin/bash
# reduce kmix volume using dbus api
export DISPLAY=:0
qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixer0 org.kde.KMix.decreaseVolume PCM:0

also in ~/bin/vol+ :

#!/bin/bash
# increase kmix volume using dbus api
export DISPLAY=:0
qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixer0 org.kde.KMix.increaseVolume PCM:0
