The problem is, that this still doesn't enable sound on some cards. For instance on the sblive, the rear speakers are on a separate ADC and are governed by a separate mixer channel called 'wave surround'. And you have to _mute_ 'analog output jack' which is used on some specific cards who have an extra analog output (IIRC). In addition 'Master' on sblive does not control the rear channels, but it does on some other cards. It will be necessary to have defaults per card because _each card has its own different mixer channels_. This is also true for OSS, but even more so for ALSA because it provides a much finer grained control. d.
