Well, aumix also has a store command, and all that does is save to the
~/.aumixrc file, which is not loaded at next boot. I'll try alsamixer and see.

It's probably worth a shot, but I'll leave it for someone else to try. I've
already recompiled.

As it happens, /etc/modules.conf has been deprecated. It's now
/etc/modprobe.conf, and yes I did try to save the settings in that. Didn't
work . . . got errors at bootup.

The rebuild itself isn't hard. It's the post-rebuild cleanup that's
tricky. A set of scripts to automate that would be very helpful, but it
would have to be bulletproof.
