Provided your Etch install is "OK", you should get this "for free". The mechanism has something to do with debian's alsa-utils package, which installs a file called /etc/init.d/alsa-utils. This file is (symbolically) linked to from both /etc/rc6.d/K50alsa-utils and /etc/rc0.d/K50alsa-utils. Debian startup/shutdown process calls various functions in /etc/init.d/alsa-utils which saves your mixer settings at shutdown, and restores them at boot-up. I haven't traced the process exactly - it "just works" for me (and has done on every machine that I've ever done a fresh debian install on). Just in case it helps, here's the output of "find /etc/ -iname '*alsa*'": /etc/rc6.d/K50alsa-utils /etc/default/alsa /etc/apm/scripts.d/alsa /etc/apm/suspend.d/80alsa /etc/apm/resume.d/20alsa /etc/udev/rules.d/85-alsa.rules /etc/rc0.d/K50alsa-utils /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base /etc/acpi/suspend.d/85-alsa-state.sh /etc/init.d/alsa-utils If something's broken, it _may_ be easier to re-install (depending on your circumstances). If not, try uninstalling and re-installing your alsa-utils and alsa-base debian packages (using aptitude/apt-get or something similar).
