OSSv4 - ossmix can't adjust volume for any attached device

I just installed OSSv4, and after some configuration it works just fine. The only thing I can't figure out is why I can't adjust the volume from ossmix (or ossxmix, or volwheel).
If i try to osstest I can hear that lovely OSS jingle with this output:

/dev/oss/oss_hdaudio0/pcm0 (audio engine 0): HD Audio play front
- Performing audio playback test... 
  <left> OK <right> OK <stereo> OK <measured srate 47993.00 Hz (-0.01%)> 

/dev/oss/oss_hdaudio0/pcm0 it's the device I'm interested into, and when I try to bind it to the virtual mixer, I get this positive output:

# vmixctl attach /dev/oss/oss_hdaudio0/pcm0
Virtual mixer attached to device.

If I try to check the vmix0 status I get:

$ ossmix -a | grep -i vmix
vmix0-enable ON|OFF (currently ON)
vmix0-rate <decimal value> (currently 48000) (Read-only)
vmix0-channels <Stereo|Multich> (currently Stereo)
vmix0-src <Fast|High|OFF> (currently Fast)
vmix0-outvol <monovol> (currently 25.0 dB)
vmix0-invol <monovol> (currently 25.0 dB)
vmix0.pcm10 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 25.0:25.0 dB)
vmix0.pcm11 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 25.0:25.0 dB)
vmix0.pcm12 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 25.0:25.0 dB)
vmix0.pcm13 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 25.0:25.0 dB)

So: the audio device is working, the vmixer it's on, and they are correctly binded. I can't figure out what's wrong. I can't adjust or toggle the volume through vmix0 in any way.
Please help.
