Yes, looks like you are right. But do those options have any real-life 
purpose?

How con the kernel be a problem since Alsa includes its own kernel modules?
I guess the kernel does not restrict the modules in working with the
hardware the way they need to.



And one more question: does anybody have speaker mute feature working on
ANY hardware? I never had it working neither on my laptops nor my
desktops. Maybe it's a missing feature, not a bug?
