Unless you can read and understand the emu10k1 driver code, you will
have a very hard time.  And if you can read and understand it you know
what to do. 

The best workaround for the time being (if you can't simply reduce the
volume in the app) is to just write a script that implements "Master
volume" by controlling Front, Rear, Center/LFE at the same time.

You can probably find such a script in the list archive.
