CentOS - Sep 2015 - vlc: changing volume setting of vlc changes master volume of kmix

greetings,

using:
CentOS 6.7  current
KDE 4.3.4
VLC media player 2.0.8 Twoflower
KMix 3.5


this problem started happening last week.

any changing of volume setting of vlc changes master volume of kmix.

logging out of kde does not correct. rebooting does.


anyone else see this or know of solution?


tia.
