I've tried pulseaudio on my debian box and got similar results.
Though the channels are there, they're just hidden inside
the joined master slider.
Try right clicking (do people still have mice these days?) the master
slider and select "Split channels".
The issue now is that the sliders are unnamed.
Only the tooltip gives an idea of what is what.

        selection intead of tabs
 * shared: device selection style tweaks: selected item
           now emphasized by a thin frame
 * shared: device selection style tweaks: Rounded selection area
 * shared: use QSplitter instead of QDockwidget for device selection
           view. It couldn't be detached anyway and size restoring
