Hi,

If you think the problem should be solved in the linux package, then the following patch solves it for me. It is against the source from linux-backports-modules-2.6.31_2.6.31-14.16.

Notes:
- With passive headphones, at maximum volume, music is close to the pain threshold, without distorting. Then again, I'm not a loud music listener, so other people might want higher volume, especially if their music files are low-volume.
- This radically changes the behaviour of pulseaudio and basically only the Master volume is used. PCM volume stays at maximum and only descends when the music is already very low (for me inaudible).

Should I report this upstream?
