If you are using Planet CCRMA that should be done automatically by the
alsasound alsa startup script (it will execute at boot time when it
starts the alsa driver). For that to work you have to activate it by
doing "/sbin/chkconfig --add alsasound" (and then check it is active byt
saying "/sbin/chkconfig --list alsasound"). On a subsequent boot alsa
will be started automatically and alsactl will restore whatever you
saved.
