On Tue, 28 Nov 2006 the mental interface of
Andreas Glaeser told:

So, no bug?

This is not an alsa fault. The configuration of the gnome-alsamixer
is saved in $HOME/.gconf/apps/. There might be some thing wrong
there. Try

mv HOME/.gconf/apps/gnome-alsamixer HOME/.gconf/apps/gnome-alsamixer,save

and start the gnome-alsamixer again. Does alsamixer on the console
work as you want?
