Package: alsa-utils Version: 1.1.2-1 /lib/systemd/system/alsa-state.service has a line ConditionPathExists=/etc/alsa/state-daemon.conf however there is no such file. Thus the state will never be saved. OK never mind that.
/lib/systemd/system/alsa-restore.service has a line ConditionPathExists=!/etc/alsa/state-daemon.conf and indeed there is no such file, so good... but there is also the line ConditionPathExists=/var/lib/alsa/asound.state however on fresh installs this file doesn't exist and it is not generated, so the whole thing will never get started. A upgrade of this package needs to make it once to get the ball rolling.
