The script is indeed trivial, and I could commit it as a port,
listing you as maintainer.  I have just one question: would it be
wise to have /var/db/mixer-state removed upon port deinstall, or should
it be left behind, just in case?  I think it would rather be removed
to leave the system cleaner; if it is removed as part of a port update,
it will be regenerated at the next shutdown anyway.

G'luck,
