I just subscribed, so I'm getting in in the middle of this, but IMO ALSA
defaulting to volume 0 at first boot should be considered a bug.
Sigh... This could only happen in Linux/Unix.
As to restoring the user's settings, yes, of course. But most
nontechnical users will simply assume that sound doesn't work with the
current default.
That said, I think the default should be well below 50% volume.
Otherwise, we give Aunt Tillie a heart attack. ;-)
