Capture controls affect audio data that is recorded by the computer.
Playback controls affect audio data that comes out of the sound card.

With this definition, these controls are clearly capture controls,
e.g., "PCM0 to PCM1 Loopback Capture Volume".

Monitoring controls like these are playback controls:
"LineIn2 to LineOut3 Monitor Playback Volume"


If your card has so many controls that you need a special mixer
application, the exact control names don't matter anyway.
