    Userspace should handle it, doing this in the kernel is bloat.

    My Debian system initializes the mixer settings to a sane state just
    fine when the alsasound init script is run. Maybe you need a better
    distro.

    Users who compile ALSA from source are expected to know what they are
    doing. And, if you watch the "make install" output, it prints a big fat
    warning that all mixer controls are muted by default.
