Yes. You cannot select them as record source, you cannot mute or
unmute them, you cannot change their volume. "CD", "PC Speaker",
"MIDI" and so on are just obsolete.
If you want to control them you can always install alsamixer or
gst-mixer or whatever. But really, this controls are obsolete.
so really lennart means 'no' :) they're not selectable via PA's mixer
interface. they will still be selectable via ALSA's mixer interface, and
hence via any alsamixer (alsamixer, kmix, xfce's mixer, gst-mixer as
long as it's around, etc).
