Works for me.

I've just tried using ‘alsamixer’ from the ‘alsa-utils’ package 
this morning, and it works for me without any additional 
configuration. It shows both ‘Card’ and ‘Chip’ to be ‘PulseAudio’, 
and volume control works. Although, that is with PulseAudio 
emulation enabled. Should the ALSA configuration always be added? 
Or just if it's enabled in configuration (possibly defaulting #t)?
