Mute KDE Apps in Non KDE Environment (xfce4, gnome, ...)

Hi guys!
I did not find anything useful about the following problem:
I use xfce4 and think it is great (no problem so far). In addition to that krusader is my top browser.

Ok I know that the slickness of xfce is lost if I use kde apps but here is my problem: Everytime I delete a file/dir my sound level goes up to 100% and the speakers (or the headphones) go *BLABLING*.
I know from here [1] and here [2] that this is due to KDE settings.
I don't want to install the whole KDE environment, start it up and untick the System Notifications from there. I want to install that one package that controls them.

On ubuntu the package is called systemsettings [3] but I did not find anything similar in the arch repository.

Here is my uname: 3.18.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Feb 7 08:44:05 CET 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Maybe these installed packages are of some relevance:
Xfce 4.12
pulseaudio 6.0
pulseaudio-alsa 2-3
alsa-lib 1.0.29-1
lib32-libpulse 6.0-1 (not quite sure why I have a 32bit package here but I don't think that causes any trouble)
krusader 2.4.0beta3-5

Thanks for any help and sorry if I did not found the same question here on this forum.

Have a great day,
Matt

Treat the cause, not the symptom:

And read man kcmshell4
