Based on how the volume reacts when I adjust it via the tray icon and the values that show up in alsamixer it seems there is some kind of disconnect between pulse and alsa. Based on the page you linked pulse goes through and adjusts the alsa channel levels at startup, shouldn't these adjustments be reflected when running alsamixer?
