[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH v3 5/6] alsa-mixer: Add "default-volume" path option

This allows customizing the default volume on a per-path basis.

The default volume for analog outputs is set to 30%, because that's
less likely to be too loud than the "default default" volume, which
is 100%. Digital outputs typically have another volume control down
the line, so for those it makes sense to keep the default at 100%.
