Surely a nice thing in theory.

But in reality, it's not always that clear.

I recently had a dual boot system with rawhide and windows.

Windows sound was fine, right volume et all. Volume knob at the speakers 
was at 50% and the software mixer at 75%.

Now booting to Linux, sound is barely audible. Turning up the volume to 
100% in the mixer and turning the speakers to full was barely enough to 
understand the music.

Using an alsa mixer to turn up the PCM volume to 100% somewhat fixed that.

But turning to an alsamixer to work around a problem with the current 
pamixer can't be a long term solution.

What is the long term way? And no, I don't care for F11. Releases are 
overrated anyway.

regards,
 andreas
