Bluetooth volume control

I am able to connect to my bluetooth speaker, but I am unable to control the volume via alsamixer. I get the following:

[21:34]root@envy alex]# alsamixer -D foxlg2
  ALSA lib audio/ctl_bluetooth.c:167:(bluetooth_send_ctl) Unable to receive new volume value from server
  ALSA lib audio/ctl_bluetooth.c:161:(bluetooth_send_ctl) Unable to request new volume value to server: Broken pipe
cannot load mixer controls: Broken pipe

My /etc/asound.conf is:

  pcm.foxlg2 {
     type plug
     slave {
         pcm {
             type bluetooth
             device 00:24:1C:3C:D5:07
             profile "auto"
         }   
     }   
     hint {
         show on
         description "Foxl G2-09"
     }   
  }
  
  ctl.foxlg2 {
  	type bluetooth
  }

Re: Bluetooth volume control

I would like to bump this one. Does anyone know how to change the volume of bluetooth audio sinks? I assume that it requires some sort of control command being sent to the device, since the audiostream itself doesn't carry any volume information?
