Why ? You can use the 'amixer' command ? :-)

Did you read the wiki documentation ? 

The only missing point on it is that you must add a call to GB_COMPONENT() 
macro in the configure.in file, and the component makefile in the makefile 
list of the AC_OUTPUT() macro.

I don't think so.

Think as if you develop a driver for the Linux kernel :-)

But it is not a huge pain to add a macro and a makefile path in configure.in 
each time you want to work with a specific gambas version.
