Thanks very much, Michael. I think you put me on the right track, although it
looks like "alsactl store" ought to work for 2 cards without passing extra
parameters. I ran it from a command line and it produced
an /etc/asound.state as it's supposed to.
I have now discovered that alsasound was not in my default runlevel. I
presume that this was the problem, although I won't believe it until I have
rebooted and found that everything does what it should.

1. I can't make my changes to the mixer
settings stick and so I have to
change them manually every time I boot up. This is despite having the
line 'SAVE_ON_STOP="yes"' as the only uncommented line in
/etc/conf.d/alsasound.
From what I understand, you have two soundcards, right? I had the same
problem
once, because 'alsactl store' and 'alsactl restore' only worked on one
card, although it said, that if it's called without a card specified, it
should save/restore the settings of both cards...
You could probably solve it by editing your Alsa-Startup-Script (probably
/etc/init.d/alsasound) and replace the 'alsactl store' with 'alsactl -c 0
store; alsactl -c 1 store' and the same with the restore part.
Well... before doing that, I'd take a look at the help-output of alsactl,
I'm not sure if the above syntax is right, and I can't check it right now,
because I'm writing this mail on a...nother OS...
