#1641: opkg upgrade blows away custom volume settings

The *.state files used to control alsa profiles are stored in /usr, and
get overwritten without prompting by opkg upgrade.
This is really irritating, since it makes my headphones really loud, and
there's no way practical to change the volume back via the current phone
UI. Worse, mediaplayer's volume setting doesn't go low enough to make the
default settings usable with my headphones...
Shouldn't these be treated as configuration files (so they're not
automatically reverted to default values), and be stored in /etc or ~?
Perhaps it could let people override the defaults by checking for a copy
of each *.state file in ~/.openmoko or /etc/openmoko before applying the
default state. Then a comment could be added to the files in /usr
directing people to create / edit copies elsewhere.
