/etc/xdg/autostart/
or
~/.config/autostart/

Build a desktop file that has alsactl restore as it's command.

There will probably be examples in one of the above directories.

The question I have is what distro are you using that doesn't do this on

It occures to me PA may be the thing that does this... and removing PA for
proaudio work is common.
