Yes, exactly. The ALSA developers admit that the mixer API is currently

I think we need to fit advanced devices, such as the HDSP into the
ALSA API. I understand that this device is more of an exception, but
it should be possible to present this device to the user through
ALSA. As it is now, we can't control this device through the ALSA API
with simple alsa commands. I think this is very bad as it gives little
power to the blind and power users.
