Comment 22 for bug 592016

David: sounds reasonable, go for it!

Regarding Mark's comments, there are actually a couple pieces here. Firstly, we're incorrectly using alsactl via the udev script; the fix for that is in maverick's alsa-utils bzr branch. Secondly, percentage isn't precise for "default" levels given the inordinate number of hardware quirks, particularly with usb audio devices. Most of those devices behave wildly differently at 65%, and dB information isn't precise for a nontrivial number of them.
