I don't see that as a bug. Mine is a TerraTec DMX XFire 1024 (snd-cs46xx).

Master maps to front, Headphone to rear. PCM is the overall volume of
digital audio (i.e. everything I can count on my fingers). Of course PCM
is not "everything", it does not include Line Out for example. But it
does not either on Windows (where there also is no "everything" control
in sndvol32), so it is not a bug for me.
