Confirming, audio volume set to zero + muted on every boot. Up-to-date Xubuntu karmic, no pulseaudio installed. A line was added to the alsa- utils init script in1.0.20-2ubuntu4 (see http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33463027/alsa- utils_1.0.20-2ubuntu3_1.0.20-2ubuntu4.diff.gz) that is causing this trouble; commeting out this line removes the problem:
