User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1a2pre) Gecko/2008073102 Minefield/3.1a2pre

When I play some example movies from wikimedia commons in ogg/theora format I found that the master volume is set to 100% on play. This only happens on the first time I play a video from this site. If I push pause or stop, and start the same movie again it does not set the audio to 100%.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Video
2. Choose a category of interest. Start a movie in mini-format or in full format
3. Press the play button.
Actual Results:  
Master volume was set to 100% on first play. 

Expected Results:  
Volume should not be touched

Using the 3.1a2pre version on Ubuntu 8.04

The terminal shows a number of messages like:
ALSA lib pcm.c:7156:(snd_pcm_set_params) Channels count (0) not available for PLAYBACK: Invalid argument

Yes, I do use the ALSA mixer on Intel HDA audio
