Sorry for the confusion.  I'm referring to Debian bug 297343,
http://bugs.debian.org/297343.  Does it make sense now?

Sorry, I meant /etc/init.d/alsa-utils

"/etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset".  I've never seen an init script with a
reset command, so I didn't think to look there.

I mean the sanify_levels_on_card function in /etc/init.d/alsa-utils.
