Comment:

 We raise the audio level to -10 dB (78%) in /etc/init.d/olpc-configure --
 but after tracing this it looks like someone after us seems to be rounding
 this up to -9 dB (80% percentagewise).

 I'm not going to argue with this for now.  In general we are still
 possibly lower than a XO-1 in quiet things like the Speak activity.  But
 playing the media samples included in the G1G1 Collection makes me wonder
 if the XO-1.5 can be louder in terms of peak volume in some cases.

 The different audio chipsets seem to have different response
 characteristics.

 Filed #10574 to look into seeing if there is a better fix.
