I agree.

Hmm ... I have been thinking a bit more about that. Even kcminit might be too late. Any application might produce sounds early, for example implicitely via a knotify message. Thus I am now certain, that volume levels should be prepared early. If the Video System is prepared in advance to everything (mouse cursor, randr, ...), it would be consistent to do it for the Audio System too.

The best place looks like after the Video preparation (ends with randr) and before the "<localprefix>/env/*.sh".
