I just tested with a maximized sample (it is at the max that the sound card
provides)
it always seems to play the samples at somewhere between 80-90% of it's
original volume
also the volume seems to be like first char describes
that is
Pan: left center right
------------------------------------------
Right Channel 0 % 80-90% 80-90%
Left Channel 80-90% 80-90% 0%

or even better, to make Allegro mixer work like DirectSound ;)
