Wow, thanks Tim!
Now I understand the discrepant behavior. It is great to know when there is a clear reason for any behaviour :-) Why the ALSA level reset bothers me is that I get clipping distortion at max level (which I referred to as 0dB earlier, but it's indicated as 4dB in alsamixer). I suppose that's what you get if you use the onboard audio?
I am happy with Airplay's behaviour of not resetting the hardware level. And you might be interested to know that I get this behaviour *despite* having software mixing in the Airplay config.
Anyways, I was hoping I could "fix" this behaviour by adding a line of the sort "amixer set PCM %90" into some script, or something similarly easy with a configuration file, but I guess that's not the case.
Thanks a lot!
