An "old fashioned" alternative is xmixer (or xmix?) which may have less dependencies than other programs. An idea for gmixer: Eventually there's an option for "preset values", or a kind of configuration file which is read right after program startup, and if such a file doesn't exists, zero values are assumed. Another mixer GUI worth mentioning is aumix / xaumix (Gtk) which features both a graphical and a text mode GUI for adjusting levels. Because I've used this program in the past, I can tell you that it's not resetting all the values.
