Re: Re: sound volume not persistent between reboots

Hi all,

I write a simple init shell script to support the persistence.

I recommend Debian maintainer of alsa-utils package to review this script and
if possible, create a debian package called alsapersist and make it the
recommended package for alsa-utils. Majority of users including me like the
persistence feature and advanced user could choose not to install this package.

1. 
here is the content of /etc/init.d/alsapersist surrounded by **** mark.
****
#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/alsapersist: restoring/storing mixer setting for all the sound
cards
# Author: Gonghua Guo
# Released under GPL version 2 or later.
#

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

test -f /usr/sbin/anacron || exit 0

case "$1" in
  start)
    alsactl restore

    echo "Restoring the mixer setting for all the sound cards"
    ;;
  restart|force-reload)
        # nothing to do
    :
    ;;
  stop)
    alsactl store

    echo "Storing the mixer setting for all the sound cards"
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/alsapersist start|stop"
    exit 1
    ;;
esac

****

2. fxg:/etc/rc2.d# ln -sf ../init.d/alsapersist S99alsapersist

Thanks for your hard work,

Gonghua
