- set system to start /etc/init.d/alsasound at boot - reboot - run alsamixer, F4, change the Input source (for me, default is Mic, i change it to Line) - reboot - enter alsamixer: oh, it's mic again !!! and it should not ! All other parameters in the output page are saved and restaured. I did not check how much deep the bug is; i did not check if the bug hapens only for the first source (I have 3 sources); for other cards (I have 4 cards - only tested #0); did not check if the capture gain was lost, or restaured, or if active sources are memorised (disabled by pressing space) ... but I think all this will seem obvious to the maintainer who digs in the scripts. I would say that the gain is saved and restaured as expected. dhp@uranus ~ $ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780 Host Bridge Alternate 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780 PCI to PCI bridge (int gfx) 00:02.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780 PCI to PCI bridge (ext gfx port 0) 00:04.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780 PCI to PCI bridge (PCIE port 0) 00:0a.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780 PCI to PCI bridge (PCIE port 5) 00:11.0 SATA controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 SATA Controller [AHCI mode] 00:12.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 USB OHCI0 Controller 00:12.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700 USB OHCI1 Controller 00:12.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 USB EHCI Controller 00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 USB OHCI0 Controller 00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700 USB OHCI1 Controller 00:13.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 USB EHCI Controller 00:14.0 SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 SMBus Controller (rev 3c) 00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 IDE Controller 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) 00:14.3 ISA bridge: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 LPC host controller 00:14.4 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 PCI to PCI Bridge 00:14.5 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 USB OHCI2 Controller 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K10 [Opteron, Athlon64, Sempron] HyperTransport Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K10 [Opteron, Athlon64, Sempron] Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K10 [Opteron, Athlon64, Sempron] DRAM Controller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K10 [Opteron, Athlon64, Sempron] Miscellaneous Control 00:18.4 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K10 [Opteron, Athlon64, Sempron] Link Control 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 9710 01:05.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Device 970f 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV710 [Radeon HD 4350] 02:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series] 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV710 [Radeon HD 4350] 03:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series] 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Older versions of ALSA only saved volume levels and not the state of more complex controls like selectors. You should find that this works correctly in 1.0.25; my apologies for the complete lack of response to your bug.
