Yes, of course that's doable, I was wondering if there's some other 
application that I don't know about that could do it. I.e. if there's a 
startup script that normally uses amixer to set up default settings, is it 
possible to add something to that script rather than to write a separate 
application to create the user control, which of course is doable too.
