More precisely: Why doesn't KDE just exec "alsactl store" to save its

IMHO this illustrates a key difference in the Gnome/KDE philosophy where
Gnome is clearly superior. When confronted with a problem like saving
mixer settings the KDE people seem to go for whatever is easiest to get
working, while the Gnome people will wait for a *correct* solution, even
if it means KDE gets $FOO feature before them.
Any software engineer worth their salt will tell you that the easiest
cheapest solution is almost always WRONG.

Nigel,
Yes, I am using KDE. I have now read the alsactl man page, and run (as
sudo ) 'alsactl store'
Why is KDE so stupid?
