You can define a per hostname dependend /var/lib/alsa. This is the place where the soundcontrols are stored. As well you can define a asoundrc (etc or $home) per hostname for the diffrent sound devices and you're done. > Store the mixer settings in a per-system or per-audio-device file. > > Have a cron job delete mixer settings for cards that haven't been used > in 6 months or so.

Nice idea, but you know unixes are providing many solutions and are always a challenge. If one uses a stick or hd for more than one machine we can expect that user can handle those comfortable ideas with provided tools by himself, isn't it? > Ideally pulseaudio would take over this job (since it is per-user) but > alsa-utils needs to also do it for those who don't use pulseaudio.
