Too many mixers

To control volume, I can adjust the “Master” mixer offered by KMix or alsamixer. Or I can adjust the “PCM” one.

But then, I can also adjust volume directly in my loudspeakers. Or, even, use the hardware buttons in this Thinkpad (which, afaik, can’t be mapped into modifying ALSA values).

For once, so much choice annoys me.
