pulseaudio: volume control ?

[Philipp Hanselmann]

Hi

I noticed that the preconfigured volume under Feisty is not loud enough 
to hear the sound properly with  some  head phones.

To hear the sound properly I  have to configure the sound volume 
*manually*. Until know there are 2 places where you can adjust the volume:

1.) locally login on the the client (CTRL-ALT-F1) and start alsamixer.

2.) on the normal login graphical login, with the command alsamixer.

Now is there a way or a command to adjust the volume to a higher level 
automatically . In case yes, I will integrate this in the user login 
scripts (/etc/profile).

Previous versions of ltsp had the possibility to adjust the sound volume 
in lts.conf. But know with feisty, with comes with pulseaudio as default 
sound server, these options disappaer! Additional I noticed that 
pulseaudio has a option called module-volume-restore, which is may 
useful to adjust the volume. The pulseaudio documentation mentioned that 
the volume will be restored based on the settings of volume.table file. 
But it's not mentioned how this file should look like and up to know I 
couldn't find this file in Edubuntu?
I case I figure out how to set the volume on the client side, I will use 
the lts.conf value LDM_REMOTECMD to execute these on the client side.

Can somebody help me with this?

Thanks,

Philipp
