[LAU] What is asound.state ?

[Julien Claassen]

Hi Jonathan!
   the asound.state, whereever it is, it has different locations, don't know if 
based on alsa-version or distro. It is the place where ALSA (alsactl) stores 
all the volumes and settings for your cards. For cards with more features this 
can mean routing etc. I seem to remember, that it can be helpful to delete 
them.
   NOTE BENE: If you like your soundcard settings as they are and if there's a 
lot to setup, you can try to save the settings for that card in one file. I 
don't know how to do it, but it's simple. I once did it. With that, you can 
tell alsactl to resotre the settings for that particular card, whereever ALSA 
finds it now, from that file.
   Kind regards
           Julien
