Yes this unit is just a part of a two part solution here. See the commit
where it was introduced for an explanation:

http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-utils.git;a=commitdiff;h=de7c3eff0e371ce155403bbcdcf81ee79266fa0f

So the udev rule is the other part of the puzzle that should deal with
restoration during hotplug events.

You should have the file [/usr]/lib/udev/rules.d/90-alsa-restore.rules
