you can use /etc/inittab.
i just added the following two lines to test it:
y:3:once:/bin/aumix-minimal -d /dev/mixer1 -f /root/.aumixrc90 -L
z:3:respawn:/usr/bin/aplay -D plughw:1,0 /mnt/dos/radio/ren*.wav
y,z: can be whatever (that's not used already).
3: the runlevel this should be in.
once: runs only at startup.
respawn: will restart if killed (good if program crashes and program does
not return the command line)
the first line just sets the mixer on my second card to 90 for all values.
teh second line plays the wave file on my second card, and if the program
is killed or just ends, the program will restart.
look at /etc/inittab and its man page for more info.
