[Bug 926688] [NEW] upstart task alsa-restore has no effect

[Jochen Fahrner]

Public bug reported:

There is a upstart task 'alsa-restore' which should restore the alsa
state to the state that was saved with upstart task 'alsa-store'.

This does not work. It looks like there is some other task that
initializes alsamixer to its default state AFTER alsa-restore is run.

There is a help page which recommends running 'alsactl restore' in the users startup applications:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook5-1/Natty

This should not be necessary if the upstart task 'alsa-restore' was
working right.

I suggest find the task that is initializing alsamixer to its default
state and eliminate this, or delay alsa-restore until the initialization
was done.

This happens in latest Natty release, but I think this problem also
exits in Oneiric because this problem exists as far as I can remember.
