The entire muting+zeroing was a hackaround for broken drivers.
Hopefully we've nailed most of those as of 2.6.35, though I can't
easily verify as much because I'm running 2.6.36-rc4 with no easy way
to test locally (not to mention my controller is reportedly fixed as
of 2.6.32).

Also, the initscript change was mysteriously dropped in the Maverick
merge, so the only real pending bits in alsa-utils bzr are its
restoration and the init db additions.

It certainly wouldn't hurt. :-)
