There should also be a way of specifying an initial volume, which then
can be changed by the user and will stay at whatever level without
reverting on each file or ordered chapter change.

This is the case for front-ends which offer a volume slider which
should not reset. The front-ends still have to set the initial volume
(using the slave mode can result in short volume bursts, especially
bad if the playback should start muted) but whatever volume the user
sets during playback should then stick.

Maybe this needs an -initalvolume (or similar) option? i.e. a way to
change the initial 25% the volume is set to and which then can be
overridden by subsequent -volume options?
