sound volume not persistent between reboots

[Rick Reynolds <rick@rickandviv.net>]

A few topics similar to this have been recently discussed, and I was 
waiting for this particular question to be hit, but it never did (at 
least that I saw).

My sound works great.  My only problem is that the settings I apply to 
the Gnome volume control applet don't persist across reboots (although 
they do across restarts of X).

I'm guessing there is some alsa-<something> that just needs to be 
reconfigured.  Anyone have a pointer for me?

Thanks,
Rick Reynolds
