@Martin
Now alsamixer is completely hidden away (not even installed anymore by
default). The cases both of you describe are advanced users. But your new,
average, & novice users may not have a clue that their is a alsamixer .
The problem is the settings are not being restored currently. Try
turning down the PCM alsamixer .. reboot .. and you still have no sound.
Programs such as skype directly control the alsa mixer .. even if a user is
unaware. This is the problem.
This is a support issue. Since pulseaudio is trying to cover up
everything you must have a way for someone to easily get them out of a bad
situation. The alsa settings are now not being exposed in 9.10 unlike 9.04 and
below.
