Asus P5LD2 SE AD1986A snd-hda-intel model and master volume control

[EmIScA <emisca@email.it>]

To get sound from my Asus P5LD2 SE motherboard (which uses AD1986A
codec) I had to set model=3stack manually using alsa 1.0.13.
It works well, but I have no master volume mixer control, why? There is
a Headphone control which don't control anything. Perhaps I can set the
volume using the Front control. Is it fixable? Can I  map Front as
Master? Can I create a master control that controls front, surround,
center and lfe together?

Ask me for other details if needed....
Thanks,
Emilio Scalise
