So these defaults would be hard-coded values that take into account, among other factors:
- the actual audio hardware (e.g. variations in the analog part) - possibly the position of a "volume" knob somewhere - the environment of the machine (ambient noise, acceptable volume level)
And all that for what ? If you want to turn up the volume after booting, all you need is one whole line in your rc scripts. So far I haven't seen a single argument as to why this wouldn't be sufficient.
