Thanks. I've now tried some other mixers that are present in Debian and most 
of them are unusable:
alsamixergui: does not understand ENUM controls
gnome-alsamixer: does not understand ENUM controls
gnome-volume-control: crashes like alsamixer
xfce4-mixer: crashes like alsamixer
kmix (TDE 3.5.13): does not update controls when switching limiter/AGC
kmix (KDE 4): crashes like alsamixer
(other mixers won't even run as they seem to be OSS-only)

But there's one that works fine: QasMixer.
