Yes it does. however.. nothing in userspace calls alsactl restore on device
hotplug.

is this a udev/distribution problem or alsa's problem?

So alsactl store Ultra after setting all the controls and then running

BUT.. I'm still stuck with a very similar problem in that nothing seems to
call alsaclt restore when the device is hotplugged.
