It appears to me that these functions are attempting to work on all of the channels at once instead of just choosing Master, Front, Rear, Surround, or what have you:
Yes, the "Master" control is one control with eight channels.
this leads to a rather awkward result in alsamixer where there are 5 volume controls called "Master":
< Master > Master Master Master Master
IMHO, it would be more desirable for them to say:
< Master > Front C/LFE Surround Rear Surr
Yes.
Alsamixer chooses to display an eight-channel control this way. This can be considered a bug in alsamixer.
