mere "alsactl restore" it takes the following steps in the "start" method: |
9 |
||
10 |
Move old asound.state to asound.state_PREV |
|
11 |
Run "alsactl store" to create new asound.state |
|
12 |
Run asound.state through a processor which sets "sane" |
|
13 |
default values without changing the structure of the file |
|
14 |
Use the values in asound.state_PREV to update the values in |
|
15 |
the new asound.state without changing the structure of |
|
16 |
the file |
|
17 |
Run "alsactl restore" |
|
18 |
||
19 |
This would run faster than the current code and might deal better with |
|
20 |
driver upgrades. |

Setting default mixer levels |
|
32 |
----------------------------
|
|
33 |
Mandriva takes an interesting approch to resetting mixer levels. |
|
34 |
http://cvs.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/soft/sound-scripts/ |
|
35 |
Its reset_sound script does: |
|
36 |
* alsactl store to file |
|
37 |
* process file with perl script alsa_default.pl |
|
38 |
* alsactl restore from file |
|
39 |
We should consider taking this code which appears to be much |
|
40 |
smarter than our sanify_levels_on_card(). |
|
41 |
||
42 |
Some controls need to be set differently on different machines. |

These should be set to appropriate defaults in the driver and not |
|
52 |
touched by our initscript. |
