OK, -c0 means amixer is accessing the hardware instead of
PulseAudio. (Somehow I have assumed PA is selectable via -c, my
mistake.) Without -c the output is simpler.

This is PulseAudio. Indeed, when I run alsamixer -c0 and see the
hardware (previously I wasn't specifing -c0), the Master is unmuted
properly. However, Speker+LO (which is muted by the first toggle) is not
unmuted. I believe, this is a problem with PulseAudio rather than with
ALSA. Unmuting both Master and Speaker+LO hardware channels makes PA
unmute master.
amixer without -c mutes and unmutes PA as expected.
Thank you for helping to figure all this stuff out.
