As someone else noted, my /etc/modprobe.conf contains the line that does
the restore of alsa settings when loading the module.  It was put there
by default during the install.

I wrote a small init script for setiathome and put it into
/etc/rc.d/init.d as a service.  Never have to touch rc.local for that.

I also have a cron that looks at seti and will attempt to restart it
once every 4 hours if it has died. It does periodically die if unable to
contact the server when it tries to send results back.
