Aha, I'd (mistakenly) believed the opposite. Does an "Auto-Mute Mode"
setting also persist between kernel upgrades?

OK, so where does that init script store its persistent 'mute' mode
state? That's what should be compared between kernels and bootups I'd
suppose. Here maybe:
% grep -n -A 2 restore_levels\( /etc/init.d/alsa-utils
53:restore_levels()
54-{
55- [ -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state ] || return 1
Line #55 names a likely file. Looking there:
% grep -n -A 8 -B 2 -i mute /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
95- control.9 {
96- iface MIXER
97: name 'Auto-Mute Mode'
98- value Disabled
99- comment {
100- access 'read write'
101- type ENUMERATED
102- count 1
103- item.0 Disabled
104- item.1 Enabled
105- }
So, before rebooting, (and after), what should line #98 be? Assuming,
of course, that 'asound.state' is relevant.
