Thats not very helpful really. What value should we set it to then? Another alternative could be to leave everything at 0dB except the master. For the master we could select say minimum dB + 12. So, if the Master ranged from -70 to 0 dB, we would set Master to -70 + 12 = -58dB.

Would that suit everyone better.

I am not so sure about this scheme. There are a couple of devices around where the minimal volume is still pretty high (like these Logitech USB speakers of mine). With them the default volume would then be very, very loud.
