Ah! found it: (search via qdbusviewer helps)

qdbus [--system] [--literal] [servicename] [path] [method] [args]

used with

qdbus org.kde.kmix /kmix/KMixWindow/actions/increase_volume

gives you a long list
...
method void com.trolltech.Qt.QAction.trigger()
...

result up:

qdbus org.kde.kmix \
  /kmix/KMixWindow/actions/increase_volume com.trolltech.Qt.QAction.trigger

and down:

qdbus org.kde.kmix \
  /kmix/KMixWindow/actions/decrease_volume com.trolltech.Qt.QAction.trigger

don't forget toggle mute:

qdbus org.kde.kmix \
  /kmix/KMixWindow/actions/mute com.trolltech.Qt.QAction.trigger

HTH, Yamaban out.
