(I would have liked to register and log it under my own name, but couldn't
find how to register, so it's listed as opened by "anonymous".)

Incorrect, unless I misunderstand you.  It never seems to read it from
ALSA.  I just set it within mythfront to 84% using [ and ], and then exited
the frontend, set the volume to 20% in another mixer application, and
restarted mythfrontend.  The frontend set it to 84% upon playback start.

I am not a fan of pulseaudio and prefer not to use it as it has complicated
my life in the past.  I am aware of no benefit it offers me over stock
ALSA.  Am I wrong?

Thanks again,
