For somthing that dosn't run as a daemon, you simply need to replace the
line beginning start-stop-daemon. If it does, then change the capilitized
stuff near the top.

If the sound really does run as modules, then this has nothing to do with
/etc/init.d. What you want to do is add a line like "postinst cs4232
/usr/bin/aumix -L -f /etc/defaults/aumix" to /etc/conf.modules. (If you're
running Slink, edit /etc/conf.modules (or modules.conf, take your pick)
directly. If you're running potato, then edit /etc/modutils/whatever, and
then run update-modules.) (Note that if you try doing the /etc/init.d thing
with a modulified sound setup, then the mixer will (probably, depends on
hardware and driver design) go back to defaults when the module is
autocleaned and put back.) A similar trick, BTW, is a cure for nonstandard
modularified serial port problems.
