Okay, I'll see if I can extend alsamixer ...
Well, those controls are quite hardware-specific, and I always wanted to try out the Python wrappers, so I wrote a separate application.
Honza, if you have a new kernel and the latest released alsa-lib and alsa-python packages, please try downloading the latest alsa-tools snapshot from http://www.alsa-project.org/snapshot/ and check the hwmixvolume tool.

The characteristic of the VXS Volume controls are changed after the type of the controls are changed from IFACE_MIXER to IFACE_PCM
extend alsamixer seem break the definition of those IFACE_PCM PCM Playback Volume control since the driver should reset IFACE_PCM PCM playback volume to 0dB whenever the subdevice is opened since most of the alsa applications don't check whether the sound card support hardware mixing
