----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
 First, I set the global volume to 50% because at 100% it hurts my ears. It
 is very loud when I use a headphone

 So, I would have expected that every new application that I open to
 respect that setting. And I don't understand why it is not true. It hurted
 several times my ears before I found the flat-volume=no setting !

 The master volume level is supposed to take precedence over all the other
 level, no matter what.

 With flat-volume = yes by default, it's even more curbersome when I play
 the first time a game, and get at full volume the intro sound of the game
 in my headphone. It hurts !

 Please, think of your user's ears , dear developpers !
