I use wmix as my onscreen mixer but recently, it has started failing because it can't find /dev/mixer. That's not unreasonable since /dev/mixer doesn't exist (I'm not using OSS).
Presumably, however, one of the devices under /dev/snd relates to my mixer - how do I determine which one it is so I can point wmix to use that instead?
Alsa seems to working correctly in every other regard...

I do not think it is that simple, judging from the sorrid results of a periphery search on the subject. Have you installed the package "alsa-oss"? It should create the necessary framework, a /dev/mixer or dsp for the oss stuff.

It is probably /dev/snd/controlC0
I need real, proper pen and paper for this.

You don't access /dev/snd/ stuff directly, you always go via alsa-lib. If wmix doesn't support that, you have two choices - load the oss emulation modules (snd-pcm-oss, snd-pcm-mixer) so you'll get a /dev/mixer, or find a different mixer app.
