@Mark, IIRC, PulseAudio does not mess with the controls unless the volume control is actually moved, so the current "factory default" levels (e g, what you get if you boot a Live-CD) are what you see in /sbin/alsa-utils (function sanify_levels_on_card()). Most of them (front, pcm, master) are set to 80%.
