Initial sound volume

Hi all

I have finally bitten the bullet and am in the process
of migrating my primary PC and OS to Linux.

I have a problem where the sound volume "appears" to
be automatically set to the maximum when my PC boots. 

In order to rectify this I have managed to get the
system to run aumix immediately after the sb module
loads, but there is still a fraction of a section of
maximum volumne static that scare the living daylights
out of my family every time I boot into Linux...
I have looked around the kernel docs but cant find (I
may not have been looking in the right place) anything
about having inital sound card volume set as a driver
parameter.

System: debian 2.2r0 recompiled 2.2.18 kernel with
Promise UDMA66 and WIn4Lin 2 patches.
Dual-boot to Windows98SE

/etc/modules.conf has

post-install sb aumix -L

which loads my desired volume from /etc/aumixrc. The
problem is the 0.5 second delay before the mixer
settings kick in.

thanks

Andrew
