The /proc method doesn't require remembering or looking up aplay syntax, or invoking a second utility. So, that's the method I pointed out. I could have listed both for the sake of completeness though.

Yes, I think there is an ongoing lack of a good alsamixer in gtk. In previous
releases of devuan, we had Volti:
https://github.com/gen2brain/volti
but it's missing in Chimaera because pygtk-2 seems to be deprecated. The same
has happened for wicd-gtk.
Either way, I don't really miss volti too much because of its dependency on
dbus [*]

...which IMHO could be very useful:
- alsamixer is good, but (?) it has a ncurses interface...
- alsamixergui is a gui (FLTK) frontend for alsamixer which code is kept
unchanged, but the gui is really poor:
+ you cannot change the mixer device to control from inside the gui
itself
+ there is no user configuration available (i.e. you cannot change the
font size, which could be a problem if text is displayed too small etc)
+ there is no integration with the desktop theme/layout
+ ...
- qasmixer maybe good... but it is qt not gtk...
- other mixers for alsa? I do not know...
So a good gtk gui for alsamixer (just a gui, whitout code changes) would
be very useful ("good gtk gui" I mean: gtk, with desktop layout
integration, user configurable).

hum... let me suggest use a different name (g refers gnome too much)...
say gtkamixer or amixer-gtk or gtkalsamixer and similar...

In 2013 I kicked every KDE executable and library off my computer for the same reason I never let systemd onto my computers.

Here you are a video: https://www.gnuinos.org/gmixer/ In the video you can see three different mixers for alsa: - On the bottom, qasmixer (developed in Qt5) - On the top left, alsamixergui - On the top right, my new project.
