Lubuntu 12.04 is a non-LTS release - does this mean that LXDE isn't, either?

Lubuntu 12.04 is not a long-term-support release. That's mostly due to a lack of manpower.

But I don't use Lubuntu on my machine, I use LXDE over stock Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. So my question is:

In the next five years, will there be security updates and bug fixes for LXDE-packages such as Openbox, PCmanFM and LXsession? Or does the "LTS" in 12.04 LTS only include stock Unity packages?

I guess this question is just as relevant for any other DE out there.

Remove LXDM and start DE via startx/startlxde

I want to remove lxdm and start lxde with just startx or startlxde.

I previously just had an openbox installation and was building that up. I then installed lxde, but wanted to get rid of lxdm, so I uninstalled it. Upon doing so, typing startx or startlxde kicks me into the previous openbox session and not into the lxde session. How do I fix this?

Where are the LXDE sound preferences?

I'm confused,how can I change the sound output in LXDE? There's not even a single option anywhere unlike other environments.

I've tried doing anything with alsamixerbut still nothing, the output device is the HDMI audio of a Radeon HD card.

Edit: As it Turns out i was able to change the ouput device, but i had to use Gnome for that and its Gnome Sound applet, that is log out and log in once in Gnome change the device, log out and log back in LXDE.

Now the question becomes Why can't i do this in LXDE?

Any search tool for LXDE menu?

I just installed lxde to boot into when laptop is using battery, but I really miss at least a simple search feature, I am used to Unity so I find myself losing too much time navigating on the menus, given that the LXDE menu is just a list with a basic categorization. I would prefer to avoid creating shortcuts everywhere if possible.
