Without making a big point of it, I do believe that is the motivation behind ALSA.
I have used mixers for ALSA, OSS, esd, and artsd. If there is one set of tools for ALSA, that is a Good Thing.
Look at any other OS. There are not four individual mixers.
It should start at zero, then when you set the correct volume, it should remember it so that you can cat > /dev/dsp and have noise.
The alternative approach is to set the volume very low, but still perceptible by default, say 10% or 20%, so that the user is aware of his device working, then can set the mixer to a level that is good, which the system remembers.
