As seen in https://launchpad.net/bugs/45167, on newer AC'97 codec cards, the
Master channel is no longer called Master, but rather "Front". This confuses
the GNOME mixer applet into believing that there is no master channel, and it
incorrectly begins mixing the PCM channel. This cannot mute, nor turn down
sound completely, and thus is the wrong behavior.

It looks like the ALSA drivers will continue using the 'Front' nomenclature...
that's not going to change. So, the mixer applets must change instead. The
GNOME mixer should recognize Front to be synonymous with Master
