Nah, it could store the values in, say, /etc/mixerX.vols, if the knob was
enabled in rc.conf. Imagine for a moment one less thing to remember to
tweak at boot time. Sure my AWE64 and 32PnP don't need tweaking upon
startup if I don't mind waking everyone up when I play an mp3, but there
are cards out there that default to a volume of zero. Sure it's nothing
monumental, but it's a convience thing.

I mean, if the FreeBSD project is opposed to convenience, why have
/usr/local/etc/rc.d, or even rc.conf for that matter when one can enter
this stuff in by hand each time at startup %)
