Hi Gabriele, thanks for following up on this bug report, and sorry for
my delay in replying.
Now I am back with a decent Internet link and could retry to reproduce
the problem.
> please let us reproduce it, what site?
YouTube, for instance.
That's where I've just reproduced the bug, but I seem to remember to
see it happening whenever mozilla-plugin-gnash was used inside my
browser (galeon).
Basically, as I said, every new video starts at 100 % volume and I have
to manually adjust it to a sane value.

Which system default?
The alsamixer settings?
The only one at 100 is "Front", but I thought the important value was
"Master" (which is 64) or maybe "PCM" (40).
Or Jackd settings?
I am not aware of any default volume setting that I can configure for
jackd.
The fact is that I am using an auto-starting jackd daemon, with alsa
back-end.
Now, as far as know, gnash relies on gstreamer, and thus cannot
directly connect to a jackd daemon: can you confirm that?
For clients that don't directly support jackd, I set up an
alsa-->jackd-->alsa loop with the following configuration file:
$ cat ~/.asoundrc
# redirect the default ALSA device to JACK
pcm.!default
{
type plug
slave { pcm "jack" }
}
pcm.jack
{
type jack
playback_ports
{
0 alsa_pcm:playback_1
1 alsa_pcm:playback_2
}
capture_ports
{
0 alsa_pcm:capture_1
1 alsa_pcm:capture_2
}
}
If you want to read more details on my configuration, please see

where my updated setup is documented.

What do you mean by "the player which plays videos"?
The one implemented in flash and executed by gnash?
