On my system Master is the only playback control visible in alsamixer
(which is toggled properly with the `m' key). So

amixer -q -c 0 sset Speaker unmute

simply refuses to do anything

amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Speaker',0

There seem to be some subtle difference between alsamixer and amixer
which makes makes the former work both ways.

I believe so. Previously (w/o PA) it worked fine so I have the toggle
amixer command bound to the mute key.

Please feel free to ask for any further info about my system.

Master toggle mutes the Speaker here. so

amixer -q -c 0 sset Speaker unmute

does the job on my system. This is a bit confusing users. Should we
forward this bug to alsa-devel?
