There have been several requests over the years to add an option to set the max ALSA volume level. IIRC it was to work around a buggy DAC driver that outputted > 0dB at ALSA 100%. I think it was a Hifiberry driver but that bug was fixed a long time ago.
Another use case was to compensate for the on-board Pi audio driver which outputs +4dB at ALSA 100%. This was done by Raspberry Pi team to enable wider variety of headphones to be used.
In any case I have it on the TODO list "Option to limit ALSA max volume" and will get to it eventually.
