Binary package hint: alsa-utils
I've been seeing reports of people who are testing recent Mythbuntu 9.10 daily images and setting IEC958, rebooting the machine and finding the setting not set anymore.
I experience this myself too, when I try to set mixer volumes and find that the settings are not persisting to the next boot. This provides a detrimental (and confusing) experience when you just finish setting your mixer settings to work with your home theatre perfectly and they aren't sticking.

An alsa-utils package has been uploaded to the karmic queue which replaces the init script with an upstart job, citing this bug.
It also reverts the changes to the init script from the last two uploads - which should be sufficient to fix the problem with mixer state not being saved.
So I'm rejecting the upload out of the queue. Now is not the time to be converting additional services from sysvinit to upstart - particularly when that isn't needed in order to fix a bug, as is the case here.
