Finding default volumes that work for everyone is a never ending battle. If the volumes are set to 0 then majority of users will think that OSS doesn't work and then stop using it. Earlier the volumes were set to 80% by default but even that caused problems.
If you would like to do some hacking then we might try creating a dedicated mixer for your system. Could you compile and run the mixgen utility in the utils/ directory and send the output to me (mixgen thinkpad_t61). I can include it in the sources and you can then re-arrange the controls in a way that makes sense. Otherwise could you try if setting the volume to 80% works for you. Maybe we can return the volumes back to it.
