It is controlled via the normal control API. Open the snd_ctl_t
handle for the same card (e.g. "hw:0" or "default"), and change the
value of the element. However, there is no standard name for the
individual PCM volume controls, and currrently depending on the driver
implementation...

It's the index in snd_ctl_elem_id. You can access via
snd_ctl_elem_id_{get|set}_index() in alsa-lib.
