I was asked to add those rules to the ALSA initialization, so it seems that we have users that does not use any other additional layer to control the hardware and they want to use the standard ALSA applications on top. Note that there is not only mixer settings, but also the routing settings which most of standard mixer applications don't handle correctly, so it makes sense to do this settings at boot. Anyway, I am open to any discussion to handle this properly. Nowadays, it seems that the use-case configurations are mandatory to bring the universal hardware drivers (mainly ASoC) to an useable state. We have already alsactl, it may be extended to set the default use case or restore the last one. We can also write special alsactl configs, but it makes sense to keep things only at the one place.
