Well there is /etc/skel/ which let's you add files which will be copied
to each home directory.

Its important to think about whether you need symlinks or files.
files can be edited by users - symlinks to /etc/skel will always
represent current generation contents ..

That's all which comes to my mind.

Maybe alsa* tools already read a global configuration first ( I forgot)
or can be patched to do so.
