Not sure if an alsa-utils package issue, or rather another alsa related package.  As "alsactl restore" fails, perhaps this is not related with S6 neither the S6 related packages.

Actually I no longer get the boot message.  But that means, on boot I get the state manually stored, not the final alsa state before boot.

I believe I've confirmed it...  See, if I delete "/var/lib/alsa/asound.state", and then poweroff or reboot, then upon boot, "alsactl restore" fails, as well as executing it manually, since it doesn't find the stored state.  But if I manually store the alsa state with "alsactl store", then "alsactl restore" succeeds both, on boot and manually.

So I guess I need to try again once the "poweroff" and "reboot" issues with S6 get fixed...

Thanks !
