Drivers loading muted is good sense. Its one of those things we got wrong
with the older OSS drivers. OTOH the desktop default for sound wants to
be audible. Since people want a beep for gdm (ick.. but I see why) its also
a pre-desktop setting concern.

Ideally it should be saved for the system wide one, and also quite possibly
per user as part of gnome/kde setup (along with all the stuff like theme,
keyboard and mice[1] settings it tries to save)
