Wha?

Since neither the kernel nor the startup scripts really frob the sound
devices much, another shell script could suffice for this too, no?

I mean, I usually have to wait until after I've logged in to turn down the
volume anyways.  This could even be implemented (perhaps easier) thru the
rc.d tree.  Perhaps I'll do that tomorrow, and make a port out of it ;)

Or am I just oversimplifying things?
