ALSA in YDL 4.0.1 + 4.1

[Paul Higgins]

I'm probably not the only person who's into multimedia stuff with Linux, and 
likewise I am certainly not the only one to note that this area is 
rather...challenging...in Linux (especially on PPC).  So I was wondering if 
anyone has figured out where the config file(s) for ALSA might be in YDL, as 
I'm getting a little tired of having to manually set up my soundcard in a 
terminal using alsamixer.  I've noticed that the same settings (which have to 
be changed to get audio output) are always retained after a reboot or logout, 
so they must be stored somewhere, right?

This problem was noteable in YDL 4.0.1; has it been solved in 4.1?

Thanks,
