This particular change in defaults is inane.  Default to sound at login on
means one is on notice:

1-sound system is properly configured
2-login has completed
3-speakers are turned on
4-volume is or is not set appropriately

Sound on at login by default is one of the relatively few sane things Windows
does (or at least did through XP - did newer versions change this?), and users
migrating from Windows to Linux expect.

For those who never needed to fiddle with system sound settings, figuring out
how in KDE settings is no small feat either. One needs to figure out the
required setting is accessible only after a select list's default is changed,
then somehow has to figure out which of the alternatives holds the magic, then
once that has been figured out, find among an unsorted list of titles which it
is that needs to be changed.
