No. Because, it's legal to load multiple files in a single line (as with include), so: load foo(bar) is parsed as loading "foo" with the argument "bar", but: load foo (bar) is parsed as loading two files, one named "foo" and the other named "(bar)" > BTW1.

The argument gives an alternate symbol name for the setup function so yes, it should have the same syntax as the setup function. > BTW2. Could such an init-function take parameters? > E.g.

However you can register a different function which can be used to change the volume; that might even be better since you could use different volumes for different things. The docs here: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Loading-Objects.html and the example here: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Loaded-Object-Example.html are hopefully sufficient to get you started.
