Bug#406047: [Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#406047: alsa-utils: unmute_set_and_level for 'Master Mute' missing

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

/etc/init.d/alsa-utils.

because i have a HP desktop system with a built-in mono speaker, which
has nothing to do with the external stereo headphone socket.

by not setting the mono speaker volume on and to 80%, you are saying to
people who install linux on HP d530 systems and other systems which have
mono speakers 'we don't care about you: as far as you are concerned, new
linux user, sound is totally broken on your machine, and you stand about
a 2% chance of ever working it out within the first few weeks.  better
luck next time: go back to using windows'.

and for advanced people like me, i have to do this:

search for the word 'damn sound' or 'alsa-utils'.
