However, I still have the issue with alsa on boot.  What happens is that the alsa setting can't be recovered on boot, which is really annoying, given one really needs to remember resetting alsa, or deal with that resetting when urged to do so.

Any help on preventing the alsa oneshot failure is appreciated !

Thanks !
