For ALSA, use pyalsaaudio

For Pulse, its a bit raw. There are ctype bindings

If you are using ALSA, you can run 'amixer' to dump the state of all volume controls. For PulseAudio, I believe 'pacmd dump' should get similar info. (see http://blog.waan.name/pulseaudio-setting-volume-from-command-line/ )
