those controls are fine:

They control amplification of sound that enters input lines. 0 means just pass it as is I rarely increase them
this should be enabled, if you want to record from device:
control.4 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type BOOLEAN comment.count 2 iface MIXER name 'ADCMux Capture Switch' value.0 false value.1 false }
from my expirence (I also own STAC9227 btw), this is normal, and I even set this to 100%
control.5 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type INTEGER comment.count 2 comment.range '0 - 127' iface MIXER name 'Front Playback Volume' value.0 75 value.1 75 }
It looks like what you have now, is exactly what I always had Maybe hardware is capable of louder sound, although I have studied the datasheet, and I havent seen that
Can you tell me exact version of kernel that allowed you to set higher volume, and can you test whenever you actually can set louder volumes on that kernel, maybe it has a bug
Btw, I have sent quite a lot of patches for this driver, for example, you will have 'Master Volume' control, and you will be able to record at same time from all three inputs, I added support for analog loopback. and ADCMux is now called just 'Capture switch'
If you want to try, you can try ALSA 1.0.15rc2
