Set the desired default settings for the card on one system and then do a
"alsactl store" once. This will create an /etc/asound.state file (or a file
you specify with the -f parameter) which you can restore from with "alsactl
restore" which you'd do from an init script (or an "install" trigger from
modprobe.conf if you have things modular and insist on it).

Taking that file and installing that onto the customers's machine would
provide him with your tweaked settings.
