I did this once, on a 2.0.something kernel. I made it read back the current
levels from the card itself and put the values into it's array of current
levels.
It only works with a SoundBlaster, and possibly even only _my_ SoundBlaster
(AWE 32 Value), but it's at
ftp://imladris.ml.org/pub/kernel/patch-sb_mixer.c-3.5.4.gz
Roll on the persistant storage of modules' configuration info. For now, I've
gone back to statically linking the sound driver.
