The aim of the dB values in the ALSA mixer is this.
For Playback: Set all the mixer controls to 0dB. Send a sample digital signal from the CPU to the sound card. The measured analog signal on the line-out should be the same for ALL sound cards.
Consumer levels are -10dBV while pro audio levels are +4dBu. And you have to be more specific what to measure.
How about this: You do what you want with the consumer boards, and leave the pro guys alone. Pro drivers are not 'broken' if they don't implement such a 'feature', they are pro drivers.
