If I remember correctly, running
alsamixer - allows you select certain cards, ESC exits

alsactl store  - would write the setting to a file, under user it would be \
~/.asoundrc   (I could be wrong).  But in my case "alsactl store" doesn't do \
anything, It opens "master" setting single bar setting.

Next time I would open "alsamixer" it would open on the last card I was viewing.  I \
was long line since I played with these setting, so I could be wrong.

I'm using XFCE but did not emerge any special packages for sound control.
