OK, thanks — can anybody else confirm if PA is indeed Debian's native sound system?

I am using Ubuntu, and I can not reproduce this behaviour: cmus does not affect system-wide volume level in any way. Volume (cmus application one) is not saved, however, and cmus does start with 100% every time. I will try to address this.
