I had a very similar problem. The reason of this two problems could be
the same.
I also couln't start gmix and get the error message either i have no
permission or there is no /dev/mixer. In my example it was Gnome that
was not set right for gmix. After i anabled sound server startup and
sound events in Gnome control center. I could use gmix without this
error message.
In your case i think the sound server of Gnome is not running in this
time while you use gmix- i as startup item. You should start gmix -i
after the sound server has started.
Why your gmix don't remember his settings is a riddle for my. Gmix
should do this if set in properties. My gmix does this.
