I'm not sure we are talking about the same file, so I will include the
one I have for reference, this is from alsa-utils-1.0.24.2.
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="sound", KERNEL=="controlC*", KERNELS=="card*", \
RUN+="/usr/sbin/alsactl restore $attr{number}"
The problem is the run+= portion. "alsactl restore" reads state
information from /var/lib/alsa by default, so it will fail if
/var is not mounted.
