I think you put me on the right track, although it looks like "alsactl store" ought to work for 2 cards without passing extra parameters. I ran it from a command line and it produced an /etc/asound.state as it's supposed to. I have now discovered that alsasound was not in my default runlevel. I presume that this was the problem, although I won't believe it until I have rebooted and found that everything does what it should.
