The restore does work under systemd, but its done as root. Also its
done under openrc as well. Under openrc, the regular user will get the
same contents using amixer get Master as root, whereas under systemd he
will not. I was told to take the user out of the audio group some time
ago and so I did, with no result I know of, maybe I will put it back and
see if it makes any changes.
