Yes, it is a real nuisance. I think that Ptlib does not have control 
over the volume settings of the Windows Multimedia interface when 
opening the device, but Ekiga just relies on it. Attached patch fixes 
that. This does not yet allow Win32 Ekiga to restore output volume from 
the last run. I work on that using an extra config key.
The zero setting of the volume slider is a third different shortcoming.
