alsa

Hi Cheryl,
I know you are Debian, but in Redhat there is a script 
/etc/init.d/alsasound.  It takes care of things like alsactl restore.  
All I need to do are the following three commands:
service alsasound start
service alsasound stop
service alsasound restart
As you would expect, 'service alsasound start' is taken care of during 
initialization.  I would imagine that Debian had the service mechanism 
since it is very standard UNIX, but I don't know.
