Awesome

Is ALSA remembering your Mixer values for CD Volume after you have 
rebooted?

For some reason mine would not remember the Mixer volume for Headphone 
and i had to create a small script to run during xwindows launch that 
would bump up the Headphone value. Annoying, but all I could figure out.
