Strangely said, but yes.

Rather than bothering to use amixer, you'd better use alsamixer to
control those. These are the standard volume controls. (Internally the
volume controls use the matrix mixer)
If you want to hear sound through analog outputs 1-2 using software
outputs 1-2, you can either use amixer (e.g. amixer cset numid=5
26,0,16384) or alsamixer.

Yes. The control called numid=5 is the interface to the matrix mixer.

Yes we can :)

I don't know if you can do it with the .asoundrc file (I would rather
doubt it). Anyway the clear benefit of doing it with amixer is that it
is hardware mixing, thus consuming no system resources.

Yes. In fact the hdsp system can run up to 26 of them (digiface).

You'll be able to capture without setting anything in amixer
