Are offline updates going to be the future?

I use PCLinuxOS as my primary Linux OS. They are a bit conservative to adapt new updates until they are sure of stability because of rolling nature. KDE is still at 5 there.

Is there any solution available for controlling the volume without pressing the physical volume buttons ?
