Hello,

	The 'alsactl init' command becomes more powerful now.

- support for dB
- better support for enumerated controls
- better "ready to use" udev support, expected use:
    RUN="/usr/sbin/alsactl -r /var/run/alsactl.init restore $name"
- initialization using a guess method - the init/default configuration
    mostly copied from the alsaconf script, see
    http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-utils.git;a=blob_plain;f=alsactl/init/default;hb=HEAD

The cardinfo database is slowly filling. We have over 120 files there now. 
Any volunteer for watching of these files and writting a suitable 
configuration files for 'alsactl init' here?

I'm not sure about the initialization procedure. I selected the method - 
look to database and if not found - use the default "guess" method 
(without any warranty). But the opposite way is also possible - do a 
universal initialization and modify only special parameters for specific 
hardware.
