This could be handled in a variety of ways, but the "proper place"  
for it is in the ALSA init scripts.  I am currently facing this same  
problem on my new MythTV box.  I found some alsa commands on the  
mythtv docs that I incorporated into a simple shell script.  I plan  
to put that in the init scripts at some point, but it seems to me  
that once you type "alsactl store", it should know to reset those at  
boot when /etc/init.d/alsa is called.
