alsa: Better volume control handling, especially for S/PDIF. If no mixer channel was specified and PCM does not exist, just pick the first. If no volume control is available, at least support mute and full volume switching if a playback switch exists. This is also useful for being able to unmute S/PDIF devices. Especially useful since there seem to be several driver/ALSA bugs that mean these devices often start as muted after every boot.
