Description of problem:
The /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt saves the mixer settings in the
wrong file.  The system wide aumix config file is
/etc/aumixrc, not /etc/.aumixrc.  (see man aumix(1)).

People who use the aumix command end up not getting the
aumix rc setting saved by the halt initscript.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.31.9.EL-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.man aumix
2.grep aumixrc /etc/rc.d/init.d
3.
    

Actual Results:  The man page shows that the system wide default for aumix is
/etc/aumixrc but /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt uses /etc/.aumixrc.

Expected Results:  /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt saves the current settings in the
system wide /etc/aumixrc file.

Additional info:

As jmd moted in bug #78785, the halt init command saves
the init script makes use of an uncustomary dot file in /etc.
I agree with his point as well.

Also note that the post-install for the sound-slot-0 should
also use /etc/aumixrc as well.  I.e., the /etc/modules.conf line
should be:

    post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

Also has bug #78783 been fixed in RHEL3?
