Most consumer distos do not agree with me and want the volume turned up already by default. The problem is deciding on a generally good level for these distros.
I believe it can be concluded that there is no "generally good level". ALSA should ship /usr/share/alsa/cards/<card>.state files which at least lets a driver author decide on a sensible set of default mixer settings.
With a bit of alsa-lib help, distros can then call "amixer defaults" to get a card-specific set of defaults loaded. Would that be good thing?
Was looking, but I see the mixer API documentation is totally absent...
