dB min is -99999.99 which is equialemnt to  mute

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/tree/include/sound/tlv.h

#define TLV_DB_GAIN_MUTE        -9999999


http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=blob;f=include/control.h;hb=HEAD

 /** Mute state */
 #define SND_CTL_TLV_DB_GAIN_MUTE        -9999999


https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=PulseAudio

 you have to open pulseaudio bug report if pulseaudio dB min is less
than -99999.99
