boot is what the gentoo alsa docs say to do, although they aren't always
right for all situations

very very likely, and perhaps tied in with:


Idea #3

new config options in /etc/conf.d/alsasound: you probably want to enable
SAVE_ON_STOP and RESTORE_ON_START

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc $ less /etc/conf.d/alsasound
# ENABLE_OSS_EMUL:
# Do you want to enable in-kernel oss emulation?
# no - Do not load oss emul drivers
# yes - Load oss emul drivers if they're found

ENABLE_OSS_EMUL="yes"

# RESTORE_ON_START:
# Do you want to restore your mixer settings?  If not, your cards will be
# muted.
# no - Do not restore state
# yes - Restore state

RESTORE_ON_START="yes"

# SAVE_ON_STOP:
# Do you want to save changes made to your mixer volumes when alsasound
# stops?
# no - Do not save state
# yes - Save state

SAVE_ON_STOP="yes"
