And my friend tried envy24control and reported this:
"I installed alsa-tools-gui, and the envy24control tool was impressive,
but had no master volume control, whether in digital mixer mode, or not.
It has a master monitor mode, but no master volume."
Ideas?

That's it, the master monitor level, it's what is used for the digital
mix (which is what is used for being able to monitor what is being
recorded while listening to audio that has been recorded. What is he's
trying to do? For applications that only use stereo out, channel 1 and
channel 2 would be used as the volume for the application (although
typically the application would have its own volume control, which is
usually controls what 2 outs you have mapped to the card).

envy24control is the m-audio mixer, have him
check his distros
repository for it, it might be part of a package called alsa-tools-gui

Step by step instructions:
1) Open envy24control.
2) Switch to the "Patchbay / Router" tab.
3) Select "Digital Mix L" in the "H/W Out 1 (L)" channel strip and
"Digital
Mix R" in the "H/W Out 2 (R)" strip.
4) Switch to the "Monitor PCMs" tab.
5) "L/R Gang", rise the fader and unmute "Left" and "Right"
in both the "PCM
Out 1" and "PCM Out 2" channel strip.
The "Digital Mix" setting will mix down all PCMs to a stereo pair and
output it on H/W Out 1 and 2.
You should now have sound, but at a much lower level than when you had "PCM
Out 1" and "PCM Out 2" selected in the "Patchbay / Router", so
you might
want to raise the volume output level in the application that is supposed to
make some sound.

What it does is mix things down to two stereo pairs, where you have to
raise, or lower two controls to get full sound. Alsamixer and Kmix
supports this, too.

Actually, at the defaut setting, you get 0 sound.

That's right. I have everything turned up, and am working with PCM at
this point.

He's just trying to play audio files (ogg, flac, etc) through the card
as line level outputs to his home stereo system.
