Oh okay. I did find a pretty good workaround, but your solution sounds good 
also.
Whichever you prefer I guess. My solution is in my Gnome Startup Programs I put 
gmix -i
as one of the programs. gmix is the gnome audio mixer program, but when called 
with the
-i option it just initializes the mixer and restores the users previous 
settings. This
is a great solution exept for the fact that you have to do it for each user and 
if you
play sounds from outside gnome before you play sounds in gnome, you'll get 
really loud
volumes again. Perhaps both of our solutions together would be the best? 
Thanks. -Jeff
