To the devs:

I chatted with the OP on IRC. The problem stems from the fact that his hw:0 
is the HDMI audio output which has apparently no audio controls in alsamixer 
(like "Master" channel, etc). His actual sound card is at hw:1.

Now, the mixer GUI allows one to select which sound hardware to control, but 
that GUI is accessible only from the mixer icon on the shelf. Since the 
mixer icon doesn't show up in the shelf, there is no way for the OP to 
change this preference.

I could myself reproduce this behavior and I can see that if I switch the 
settings in the mixer icon to the audio output from my nvidia graphics card 
then the mixer icon just disappears. And there is no way of getting it back, 
other than hacking into modules.mixer.cfg.

Possible remedy: perhaps the mixer should check whether the Master channel 
or PCM channel is present in the current hardware device and if it is not 
present, then it could perhaps go on to the next hardware device, or simply 
show the mixer icon but refuse to control the hardware.
