After reconsidering this, I see your point now.  The widget 0x0f in
the first example above needs to have stereo (left and right) amp
values.  What's confusing is that the second case above does *not*
have stereo amp values.  That is, this exception is applied only for a
single stereo-to-mono mix route, not for M-to-N mixing.

The patch below is the fix.

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: hda - Treat stereo-to-mono mix properly

The commit [ef403edb7558: ALSA: hda - Don't access stereo amps for
mono channel widgets] fixed the handling of mono widgets in general,
but it still misses an exceptional case: namely, a mono mixer widget
taking a single stereo input.  In this case, it has stereo volumes
although it's a mono widget, and thus we have to take care of both
left and right input channels.

This patch covers this missing piece by adding proper checks of stereo
amps in both the generic parser and the proc output codes.
