I agree with petri but I'm already on the record as saying my preference would be
softreturns -> outputs everything else muted no effects.
Petri the scripts are probably something I wrote (if it's a couple of nested for loops of shell)
The bigger problem imho is that snd-usb-audio doesn't preserve alsa volumes and I still don't understand the reasoning for this.

Those defaults are the worst I can think of for *my* use case. That's why I haven't implemented them. I do fully appreciate that those would be
sane
defaults for many people. I wouldn't mind anyone implementing them in
Alsa.
It's just, well, I won't ;-)
When I started working on the FTU mixer support I didn't think about the defaults at all. The default we have right now are the ones you get
without
explicitly specifying any.
But in fact, now I completely fell in love with these insane defaults: They give me an instant alert that I haven't restored my personal 'right' settings! That's of extreme value for my purposes as I use the device mainly on live occasions and the 'wrong' settings certainly cannot go unnoticed in the soundcheck.
So again, anybody interested is invited to implement new defaults for the FTU. I won' t object any choice, how could I? But I won't do it myself since I'm personally very happy with the current state.

So,
the only option left for me is to ask if some kind person would patch and change the default settings, i think it would serve the majority of users and ease the usability :)
