Comment(by coling):

 Hmm, really? They should be re-reading the volume data but rather setting
 the volume they think they have in hardware.

 The problem I envisage is:
  1. User A logs in and sets volume to 10%.
  2. Switch user
  3. User B logs in and sets volume to 50%
  4. Switch user to User A. User A's PA *thinks* it has a 10% volume but
 the underlying mixers are @50% - We need to reapply our volumes to the
 h/w, not read what the hardware is currently saying.

 I wasn't sure if this was something that should be specific to the alsa
 modules - e.g. it would apply on OSS modules too most likely (certainly
 pre-v4).

 Of course wherever this fix goes, it's still falls under the "takes a
 little more work" category :p
