It's true. Currently are only two ways how unmute channels:

1) use Mixer program from alsa-utils package (anyone is interrested to
   write a little better command line mixer for ALSA project?)
2) edit output from cat /proc/sound/0/mixer0 (remove lmute and rmute
   words) and write result again to /proc/sound/0/mixer0

If you using some OSS/Lite compatible program, you can't with it change
mute settings.
