Title:
  upstart task alsa-restore has no effect

Status in “alsa-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
