If this is the only card on your system, I guess that kmix will show you
the same controls as alsamixer would.
But still alsamixer is the reference mixer.
The central problem is that ALSA tries to give you a generic frontend
for any card. Great idea because we do not get mixer frontends
contributed by the manufacturers and optimized for particular cards.
Disadvantage: Mixers are usually difficult to understand (even the OEM
mixers on windows are difficult to understand because soundcard
routings aren't the easiest thing on earth).
