same here, different ppc. the relevant error, even without the -a switch is:
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory 

i tried to use the "debugging" option of -a and initially got an error
trying to find /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/smixer/smixer-
python.so so i installed libasound2-python and then got an error trying
to find /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/smixer/python/main.py

in the process of reporting this, i got on my not-quite-so-updated
precise x86 and tried alsamixer -a and got the same error with i386
instead of powerpc. however, alsamixer alone ran fine.

so i'm thinking that there's a problem with the -a switch that may exist
even in previous versions and i'm also thinking that something is amiss
with alsamixer on this version. don't have a quantal x86 install to
compare to presently.

it is also curious to note that lubuntu-core installs alsa-utils which
installs libasound2 which suggests libasound2-python. if this is
required for some reason, why is it only suggested?
