I see, thanks for tip! Does following

$ amixer
...
Simple mixer control 'PCM',0
  Capabilities: cvolume
  Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Capture 0 - 100
  Front Left: Capture 86 [86%] [-5.60dB]
  Front Right: Capture 86 [86%] [-5.60dB]
Simple mixer control 'PCM Center',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Limits: Playback 0 - 100
  Mono: Playback 0 [0%] [-99999.99dB]
...

make any sense to anyone?

(Well, 'man amixer' doesn't reveal meanings of 'cvolume' nor 'pvolume'.
Sigh.)
