In short, kmix does not require the kdemulimedia meta-package installed. Further, the only thing that requires the kdemulimedia meta-package is a complete kde installation (the kde package is a meta-package designed to give you all the official kde modules released with kde).
If you don't want bloat, make skip the meta-packages and just directly select your apps (e.g., kdm, kmix, kmail, or whatever). Also, remember that some dependencies can be met by multiple sources (such oss vs alsa enabled backends).
