There are no dedicated controls for that inputs, only for mixed signal.
That's why driver does not reports them.

Driver tries to use as much amplifiers as possible, but it assigns
controls only to some predefined cases: pcm, vol, rec plus one for
control each input source. Assigning more controls without possibility
to document their purpose will just confuse users.

If as in this case, there is no dedicated amplifiers for pcm and vol,
driver uses same amplifier for both controls. Just to be as universal as
possible.
