The pcm sliders are just what your card is reporting if I am not
mistaken.  I believe that the volume control needs the OSS compatible
alsa modules loaded, eg:

snd-pcm-oss
snd-mixer-oss

Perhaps these modules are not loaded before you enter gnome?  I can say
that I use alsa, and the volume control works here.  Have you check
bugzilla.gnome.org?
