>Description:
	 
If you switch between /dev/sound and /dev/audio you get suprised.
When you go back to /dev/sound, all the settings are back to the
/dev/audio ones.  I would argue that iff /dev/sound is supposed to
retain its values across open/close it should not be munged by some
"independent" device.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	
You could save/restore audio state when you close/open /dev/sound.
