Stuff was upgrade-installed by apt-get Debian package utilty. Offers choice of 
overwriting or keeping configs. I have no chkconfig.

Two problems:
1. The original script used a syntax msg( alsactl restore ....). This does not 
to anything.

2. The script as I changed it with a direct call to alsactl restore is 
apparently no being run or being run out-of-order on startup.
