Curious! I wrote up an rc.d script that seemes to work fine on reboot. I get 
console messages confirming that volume has been changed. But as soon as I 
log in, either as root or a normal user, I type 'mixer' and it shows the 
volume levels back where they were before.

I'm guessing that there is something else either in rc.d or in the login 
sequence that is setting the mixer after my script runs. Any ideas what that 
might be?
