Sound, alsactl, boot.local issue since kde 3.3

Hi,

Suse 9.1, KDE 3.3, Sound card SB Live 5.1, using ALSA.

Since i've updated my 9.1 to KDE 3.3 from the Suse DTP site, I have to "su"
and run "alsactl restore 0" to get sound. Prior to this update to KDE it
always worked fine.
I've placed this command in the "/etc/init.d/boot.local" but that does not
seem to do the trick.
What i have done:-
Run "alsamixer" to get the sound as I want it.
Run "alsactl store 0" (as "su")
Reboot.
Run "alsactl restore 0" (as "su") and the settings are restored
The "asound.state" file is -
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42230 2004-08-27 22:43 /etc/asound.state

I've also tried using "kamix" - i can set the sound for the session ok but on
reboot, the settings are back to zero

Any pointers would be welcome.
thanks

Ian
