This doesn't quite work. The /etc/modules.conf file has been deprecated
and /etc/modprobe.conf seems to understand a different command set. Putting
the above "post-install" line in the latter generates an error.

What does work, even if it is somewhat of a kludge, is the following.

1) Set sound volume levels with *both* 'alsamixer' and 'aumix'

2) Run 'alsactl store' as indicated above.

3) Put 'alsactl restore' in /etc/rc.d/rc.local.


Yep, good old /etc/rc.d/rc.local. It fixes up what you can't get the
other init scripts to do. . . .
