Just change the default volumes given in sb_mixer.h in case you are
looking for a simple solution which works on your computer.
A more general solution is possible when using the driver as a loadable
module with kerneld. There is an almost ready interface for this if
somebody is willing to implement support for this. Just look at how
SOUND_MIXER_GETLEVELS and SOUND_MIXER_SETLEVELS calls are implemented in
sound_switch.c. SOUND_MIXER_GETLEVELS call can be used to implement a user
space program that dumps the currently active settings to a disk file.
These settings can then be loaded using kerneld but this needs to be done
before soundcard_init() gets called from soundcard.c.
