/etc might be on a read-only partition which is not suitable for dynamic data such as the mixer settings. Hence move the location of asound.state to /var/lib.
Could you add configure option to specify the path instead of replacing the fixed path? I don't mind to change the default path, but dropping the old path is no good approach, since alsa-utils is still used by many old distros.
thanks,
Takashi
