Note that I installed nothing else. I only did a sudo apt-get alsa-utils on a fresh alpha 5 card. Doing the same in alpha 4 would result in alsamixer loading.

OK, found the problem:

Terminal

$ more /etc/group | grep audio
audio:x:29:

As you can see, xbian is not member of the audio group.

Terminal

$ sudo adduser xbian audio

solves the problem and alsamixer is back. :-)
