You shouldn't need to tweak anything. Just write a script that gets
executed at startup/shutdown by init that restores/saves the mixer
state to some /etc or (better) /var file. Look what /etc/rc.d/init.d/random
does to save/restore the random number generator state. (valid possibly
only for Red Hat.)
