Almost certainly a bug in mplayer is setting the initial volume. This was the
case a while back but it's been fixed in mplayer.

Anyway, the fact that mplayer can set the volume loud is a feature of "flat
volumes". This allows in app volume controls to be absolute. You know that if
the volume in your music app says 60%, then that's what it means. Not 60% of
some value currently assigned to the device it's current playing through. It's
actually much nicer when you think about the whole picture.

But it relies on apps playing nice and letting us handle the volumes and not
request e.g. 100% volume on it's stream at init.


And of course it's not to everyone's tastes so you can turn it off in
/etc/pulse/daemon.conf (see the man page) if you prefer.

With this in mind I think this bug can be closed?
