Or you could do what I've said on this list a few times now and set the 
mixer to 'default'.  You can use the internal volume controls with ALSA 
in 0.17 (at least for analog sound output and some card's digital output).

I guess I shouldn't have made the mixer configurable for ALSA.  I 
haven't found a case yet where we need to set it to anything other than 
default.
