[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#233974: alsa-base: rebooting after single user mode trashes mixer settings

[Ryan Underwood]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.2c-3
Severity: normal


When booting into single user mode with 'single' option to kernel, the
ALSA init script is not executed to restore the previous mixer settings.
However, after issuing 'reboot', the init script is executed to _save_
the mixer settings, which were never restored!  Thus, the default mixer
settings get saved, wiping out all customizations.

I'm not sure of a way to solve this, but I think it is a problem; any
time the user takes the system to single user to do maintainence, mixer
settings are destroyed.  Any ideas?
