I thought debian had the pamixer command. Archlinux has this one and I
think it may be something you can download and build from GitHub -

I would like to try this but there is no pamixer. apropos pulseaudio shows
many pa... commands but no pamixer. apt-cache search pamixer? returns a blank
line.

please try all of this using pamixer, pulseaudio is controled by its own
mixer software not by alsamixer.? Remember pulseaudio when installed
manages alsa and not the other way around.

From a terminal run alsamixer, f6, select Xonar DSX
On another terminal cd to a directory of ogg files, start a playback of a
file.
Oh the desktop start pulse audio volume control. Monitor shows strong
active playback levels
Switch to terminal running alsamixer, mute master front which mutes all
output channels.
Return to desktop pulse audio volume control, monitor continues to show
strong active playback levels even though alsamixer thinks all output
channels muted!
The music goes down and around and comes out nowhere!
