If you are using Planet CCRMA that should be done automatically by the alsasound alsa startup script (it will execute at boot time when it starts the alsa driver). For that to work you have to activate it by doing "/sbin/chkconfig --add alsasound" (and then check it is active byt saying "/sbin/chkconfig --list alsasound"). On a subsequent boot alsa will be started automatically and alsactl will restore whatever you saved. -- Fernando
