As far as I know, rc.shutdown doesn't get run unless you go to single
user mode (for example, 'shutdown -h now' will not cause init to run
rc.shutdown).

Personally, I put my mixer settings in ~/.mixerrc, and load/save values
there by running a script from ~/.xinitrc (load before starting window
manager, save after window manager exits).  But I never have a real need
to use audio when I'm not running X (and no need to have any mixer
settings before logon).
