alsa-mixer: Set "Front" control to 0 dB on headphone path

I've seen more than one system where the volume control named
"Front" is a part of audio path for headphones. This is somewhat
of a compromise: While we don't merge it into the path, as that
would be regressing machines where "Front" isn't a part of the
audio path, it would still enable sound on these machines.
