Cannot change volume on Plantronics Audio 910 USB Headset

Hi,

I recently got a Plantronics .audio 910 USB headset.
It is correctly detected by snd-usb-audio and works, but I cannot change the
volume of the PCM output or the MIC input. When executing alsamixer -c 1,
the volumes seem to be locked and cannot be changed as usual. Unfortunately
the microphone volume is at 0, leading to very poor quality of the recorded
voice (especially in Skype, which seems to try to compensate the low volume
and fails miserably).
I tried the headset with three different PCs, all with the same result.
A desktop at work running Fedora 7, a Thinkpad R50p running debian/testing
and the 2.6.22 kernel provided in debian/testing. The third one is a Dell
precision M65 with debian/unstable and a vanilla 2.6.24.2 kernel and latest
alsa drivers from the mercurial repository.
When loading the snd-usb-audio module, dmesg shows the following kernel
output (on the M65):

usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

I posted the output of alsa-info.sh and lsusb -v on pastebin (both taken on
the M65).
