After lot of blind guesses I finaly try command
from amixer man page:
$ amixer -c 0 -- sset Master playback -20dB
after this one command aumix can work now as expected.

I guess that amixer command created /dev/mixer device so aumix can
find it now. Why was /dev/mixer was not created during instalation
process I do not know!

That shouldn't be required unless snd_mixer_oss was not loaded before
and amixer just triggered its loading somehow (see quoted README for
details). Or maybe it's some other low-level module. You can compare the
module lists before and after running that command (visible with "lsmod"
command or in /proc/modules).

They are usually created by udev which is triggered by *bingo* module
loading.
