Well, on my Planet/RH9 sys there is a checkbox in KDE Control
Center under Sound and Multimedia, Sound System, Mixer that is
labeled "Load volumes on login".  It's checked on my machine.

But I really don't know how it functions ie what it does. aRTs
is the default for KDE and my machine does not start arts on
KDE startup (check box on the aRTs tab is not checked). I rarely
turn this sys off or reboot and rarely logout of Xwindows; maybe
this evening I'll try to see if the Loadvolumes check box does 
anything with arts not running.  

I use Qamix version 0.0.7; it doesn't have a save-settings menu
item or button.

I have used alsactl for save/restore while using KDE.
