Gst::Mixer wraps only the API that the C API exposes.  The GstMixer
functions available just don't provide functionality for the functions
you mention (see the GstMixer docs[1]).

You may want to look at the other alsa plug-ins such as Gst::AlsaSrc and
Gst::AlsaSink.  Also, something that may be relevant in the GstMixer
docs is found in the gst_mixer_list_tracks()[2] method.  I'll try to
update the docs in gstreamermm to reflect that.  You may also file a bug
about that if you'd like so it is not forgotten.  Thanks.
