Is this so difficult to get? On my system /var/lib/alsa contains data, that alsa uses to restore mixer- levels. So *my* /var/lib is used during boot and *my* /var/lib has to be mounted by the initramfs. That's the situation on nearly every gentoo system using sound (systemd might handle this different, I have no idea) Got it? Your system is not the center of the world. > Regards. Best, Michael
