I put that line to do that in my rc.local file quite a while back. It
As someone else noted, my /etc/modprobe.conf contains the line that does
the restore of alsa settings when loading the module. It was put there
by default during the install.
seems to do the job ok, and I do see it flying by in the boot window.
But then my rc.local would probably give purists a tummy ache cause
I'm even starting setiathome with it.
I wrote a small init script for setiathome and put it into
/etc/rc.d/init.d as a service. Never have to touch rc.local for that.
I also have a cron that looks at seti and will attempt to restart it
once every 4 hours if it has died. It does periodically die if unable to
contact the server when it tries to send results back.
