The final solution required installing the modules-1.3.69f and
setmix-0.1 packages.
They are available from:
http://www.pi.se/blox/modules/index.html
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/sound/mixers/setmix-0.1.tar.gz
And then adding the following lines to the /etc/conf.modules
post-install sound /usr/local/bin/setmix -f /etc/volume.conf
pre-remove sound /usr/local/bin/getmix -f /etc/volume.conf
