If it is a member of the system structure, this can be fixed
elegantly. If the OS has a global volume setting which is meant
to be set by the user, it feels very wrong to override this
just for one program. Especially as it would not necessarily be
done by the user (eg could be done by the Allegro program).

And, if push comes to shove, that's what the knobs on the
speakers are here for ;)
