nice work :-)

Yes I can. You need to send the volume information to gtkpbbuttons. This
could be done with the function call:

singletag_to_clients (CHANGEVALUE, base->mute ? TAG_MUTE : TAG_VOLUME, vol);

Add this line somewhere in your function alsamixer_set_and_send() and 
gtkpbbuttons will display your volume again. The only thing left to do is to 
decide which channel's volume should be sent.
