There is a real argument for keeping this and not just letting the rcNG script do it all. Other than being a feature, the real argument goes something like this. If I have something plugged into "Line In" on my soundcard and I mute teh channel, next time I reboot I will hear that "Line In" signal until the rcNG script runs and mutes it. There is a small time period between sound being up and the rcNG script running. If I had something constantly, loud and annoying connected to "Line In", that would suck. If you really wanted to be evil, you could have the rcNG script load and save the mixer settings from/to the loader.conf/device.hints files (or save to another file and 'include' it somehow). Then you don't have to wait for the rc scripts to run for the volumes to be reset. --=20 Sean Kelly | PGP KeyID: D2E5E296 smkelly@FreeBSD.org | http://www.sean-kelly.org/ --82I3+IH0IqGh5yIs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFA3VnSPm7A9NLl4pYRAqUEAKCrToocYifvd+MH/ieNmE1ebUEBVQCgmqYT GT/2s5q/b+R8qtRdLkiOf/M= =9yB1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --82I3+IH0IqGh5yIs--
