I have the same problem on another (old) machine running current. Since 
the powerhook was created, and the corresponding error message during 
boot (cannot set power or something similar) appeared, I cannot set the 
volume (outputs.master) under 127. It says here, and each time I try to 
lower it, I get the same error message on console (cannot set power). 
Strange behaviour.

I tried to comment the corresponding section of the switch in auich.c: 
it is slightly better, but Realplayer is still mute. Mplayer works 
again, though.
