AFAIK amixer (and the ALSA calls it uses) can't read the mixer state, only write it. Which is why hdspmixer has to initialise the card to a stored state to get the GUI and the actual HW in sync. RME MADI cards don't have a mixer, just output gain controls. Alsactl will read and write those, 32768 is unity gain.
