Comment (by coling):

 Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your situation. A similar same thing
 happened to me with some hardware a while back (the Master channel didn't
 actually work, and using the PCM was the the only way I could get the
 volume controls to work). So for me the order in which pulse used the
 mixers was wrong.

 But that doesn't change where the fundamental problem is. You report a bug
 in pulseaudio, and I explain, quite clearly, that this is actually an ALSA
 problem. You then flame pulse for not working around a bug that lies
 elsewhere and could have completely different workarounds on different
 hardware (thus making the inclusion of a workaround in pulse harder).

 Despite me giving you a potential workaround to try (because it looked
 like your card was wanting to use a surround mixer on a stereo setup and
 using pulse in a 5 channel way may have fixed the mixer problems),
 explaining what option in what config file you needed to tweak, and they
 you again flame me for saying you didn't have a clue that I meant (I
 thought my instructions where clear but I guess not.).

 This all comes down to a question of software quality. You seem to suggest
 that by not adding a sticking plaster in pulse, that makes pulse worse. I
 disagree. Putting the fix in the right place makes the '''whole''' system
 of Free software better. So don't spit the dummy out just because your
 personal immediate need is not met, report the issues to the right
 channels, fix them ''appropriately'' or help/encourage others to do so,
 and help make Free software as a whole better.

 I'm setting up ALSA/LTSP5 enviroment on openSUSE 11.0 and got these errors
 when lauching pulseaudio (That is used in LTSP5)

 Cannot find mixer control Master
 Cannot find fallback mixer control PCM

 (Can't paste them because they are on LTSP machines.. but I figured out
 this there isn't Master or PCM in mixer (it's snd_intel_hda module) so I
 little bit hacked this and made this tiny patch to show how I get it
 working

Comment:

 This is an ALSA bug. ALSA devs have stated that they want all hardware to
 provide a Master mixer.

 You should try the latest version of the alsa drivers (1.0.18rc3) to see
 if this is fixed and if not, report it to the ALSA folks via their mailing
 list (their bug tracker is a black hole so don't touch it!)

 You should include the output from amixer -c 0 when you report it to them,
 as well as the relevant line from {{{lspci -nn}}} for your audio hardware.

 FWIW, you may have more success without your patch if you set {{{default-
 sample-channels=6}}} in your {{{/etc/pulse/daemon.conf}}}
