Save / restore system's audio settings

alsactl store stores all alsamixer settings into a file
alsctl Options:

  store     <card>  save current driver setup for one or each soundcards
                      to configuration file
  restore   <card>  load current driver setup for one or each soundcards
                      from configuration file
