[alsa-devel] wrong decibel data?

I'm sorry but I found out that I gave you wrong values of "amixer -D
pulse": I just discovered that when I lower the alsa master volume, in
some occasions the PCM volume goes to 99%, so now I will put it to
100% and check the pulse volume again.

0 dB    =  65536 [100%]
-3 dB   =  57520 [88%]
-6 dB   =  52057 [79%]
-12 dB =  41034 [63%]
-24 dB =  26090 [40%]
-48 dB = 10151 [15%]

So again, the only problem is that -48 dB IS mute, but it's not
declared as mute.
This is the real issue.
