I can confirm this on Feisty. I'm using Audigy1.
The problem seems to be in /etc/init.d/alsa-utils, when card's volume status is initialized by calling initscript with 'reset' parameter.

Here's the part from the script that enables "Analog/Digital Output Jack" for Audigy:
  # Some machines need one or more of these to be on;
  # others need one or more of these to be off:
  #
  # switch_control "External Amplifier" on
  switch_control "Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack" on
  switch_control "SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack" on

The first switch needs to be 'off' in my case. I've seen couple posts about this same issue in the ubuntuforums.org.
Bumping the priority a little
