Ok. Seen from this viewpoint this is no real regression. But do you have
an idea how can i fix my setup?

Currently i have these .Xmodmap key bindings:

keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute

Some kde component while take care of the "XF86AudioLowerVolume" and
"XF86AudioRaiseVolume" events and change the value of the "master"
volume control.

This is still happening with 2.6.23-rc5, but the master volume, stopped to be connected with the build-in speakers.
When i connect headphones to my notebook the "MacBook-Volume-Up" and "MacBook-Volume-Down" keys still work, but they stopped to work with the build-in speaker, but will work with the headphones plugged in.

The problem is, that i use the build-in speakers more often than the headphones.
When a headphone is connected the build-in speakers go silent.

And i agree with Mr. Juhl that a master volume control should control both outputs, i.e. built-in speakers and headphones.

Any ideas?
