Yeah, I'm indeed very fond of automatic volume setup for desktop users, too. I don't know whether it's a role of PA. Rather I feel we'd need to add a feature to alsactl, such as, % alsactl init then it'll either initialize or restore the previous setup.
So, anyway, what we really need is to gather the data for each available device to initialize to the "sane" state...
I agree that initialization should be implemented in alsactl, too. I think that only necessary values (Master, PCM, Front, Wave, enable recording from Mic) should be kept in database and all other "advanced" controls should be untouched. Initial values should be hearable minimum.
BTW, there is another thing to care - the capture. In most cases, people don't understand why they can't record from the microphone on their laptops out of the box.
Yep, I wrote "enable recording from Mic" :-)
Oh yeah, sorry, I reacted too quickly without reading enough.
