[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#670490: alsa-utils: Restore sound volume in udev

[Vincent Bernat]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.25-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

When alsa-utils init script is run too early or when a new sound card
is plugged, the volume levels are not restored. Here is some udev rule
that could do the trick:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="sound", KERNEL=="controlC*", \
  RUN+="/sbin/alsactl restore /dev/$name"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="sound", KERNEL=="controlC*", \
  RUN+="/sbin/alsactl store /dev/$name"

Maybe this could fix bug #539579 but I am not sure (sound levels are
not restored in my case because alsa-utils may run too soon because I
am using systemd).
