Ok, Robb, your test result confirms that an alsa-plugins check[0] (added
in intrepid) for an internal pulseaudio define prevents amixer/alsactl

(The -kernel workaround seems orthogonal to this bug, so it's a good
idea to follow up on that one in a separate thread.)

Thanks for your persistence, everyone!
