'Twas brillig, and Robert Orzanna at 20/10/11 07:05 did gyre and gimble: > Of course I can run alsactl restore after pulseaudio had completely > started.

You were originally concerned about saving/restoring settings that PA does not alter or touch at all. This is exactly what alsactl store/restre handles. We don't touch any alsa settings that we specifically do not want to set in PA. If there is a specific problem in that PA *is* touching, but you reckon it shouldn't, then please clarify this with some examples (e.g. amixer/alsa-info.sh output and specific element names).
