Dropbear is mostly used on embedded systems like router's firmwares. It's a
decent ssh replacement for small devices with low resources. Fully
compatible.
I would imagine that alsa is indeed in the kernel as it would be kind of

that installing alsa-libs will provide alsamixer and solve your problem. :)
