Harondel,

Run "amixer scontrols" for a list of the mixer controls supported. "amixer 
scontents" will show you their current values. The manpage for amixer 
describes in detail how to set values, but briefly:

to increase volume, I'd use something like "amixer sset Master,0 1+"
and "amixer sset Master,0 1-" to lower it. For toggling mute/unmute, putting 
two lines in the same begin/end block of the .lircrc causes them to be sent 
to the program in turn, so:

begin
	prog = irexec
	button = mute
	config = amixer -q sset Master,0 mute
	config = amixer -q sset Master,0 unmute
end

Some other sIDs supported by amixer on my machine are: PCM,0 (i.e. /dev/dsp) 
Line,0 (i.e. the input from your tuner card), Capture,0 and so on.

HTH,
