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.

Good luck es vy 73 de D. :-)
