I can't really comment since I've no idea what the problem is; if it's not understood what has gone wrong then some diagnosis will be needed.
For now, all I can say is that the softvol doesn't communicate with pulseaudio when snd-pcsp is used. You can alter it, but the playback volume won't change. And if you run the pulseaudio mixer in parallel, it won't reflect the change done by alsamixer too.
AFAIK, PA probe "hw" device for mono output profile first .
As snd-pcsp support only mono , PA expect "front" device support stereo so it cannot create stereo output profile
So it is incorrect to define "front" device to use "hw" without "plug" plugin when the pcsp does not support stereo

finally falling back to software for everything that cannot be done in hardware.
