I believe that is because this has been argued to death upstream
already. Upgstream ALSA developers made the choice to mute by
default. I believe it was to avoid possibly loud clicking, hissing,
or other problems during driver load/unload and system boot that could
damage speakers or ears.
If you want this changed, bring it up with the upstream ALSA
developers. I doubt FC is going to deviate from upstream in this
matter.
