Sorry, this can't be the full story. Your alsa-info file says that you also 
have a Front control and a Headphones control. If none of these has any effect, 
it is a bug. Please try moving all controls up and down with arrows, including 
the controls that are past the right border of the initial alsamixer window.

Yes, that's what it normally does.

It selects the S16_LE as the sample format. This is a signed (S) 16-bit 
format, so two bytes per channel. LE means that the least significant byte 
comes first. This is just to prevent the fallback to U8 or something else 
equally strange. The -F option itself, as well as the list of recognized 
formats, is described in "speaker-test --help" output and is indeed missing 
from the manpage.
