I think this could help with what's being discussed in this bugreport:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6063
The N900 seems to suffer from a hardware fault, that lessens the volume of the earpiece, if it doesn't cut off sound entirely. Now a hardware problem can't be fixed, but maybe the problem could be lessened by someone finding a way to boost the default volume?
P.S. Don't discuss anything in Bugzilla! Do it here.
So anyone who has been able to play with the volume control from terminal please share how to do it.

Still, if you screwed up, saved those changes to disk AND lost your backup, there is the possibility to request the original .state file from other users or restore it from install image.

I'm really feeling a bit shaky about this stuff and I just know that since I understand this so little, reversing the changes will be impossible for me.

Again, I haven't tried this myself on Maemo yet as I'm fine with the default volume settings. This is just stuff I know from other Linux distros.
I'm brand new on the forum, trying to do stuff with maemo.
The sound is fine, most of the time, except the headphones output which I find a little low.
I tried the alsamixer -c 0 , all the settings were 100, except the headphones which was 88, so I put it at 100, and the sound was fine.
I did save the settings, with the alsactl store 0 command, everything was fine.
But everytime I unplug my headphones the settings goes back to 88... weird, if I don't unplugged them, the settings stays at 100
Anyone care to help on this one? I'm not an advanced user, so maybe there is something else to do, it really bugs me as I plan to use my n900 as my primary mp3 player...
Thanks!!!

The settings are iffy, sometimes they reset on headphone plug, sometimes not. I remember fiddling with them, but not sure how I did it. I think plug headphones, ramp up the volume with rocker, then reboot while still plugged fixed it. Don't quote me.

thank you for your reply,
I did put the settings at 100 again, save it, reboot (while headset plugged all time), but it did go back at 88 on every reboot,
maybe there's something wrong when I save it? I installed the root thing, and before doing stuff, I used the sudo gainroot command...
(I have to say it is really frustrating, because there is a way and you can see the nice result of it ahah)

How about rising a proposal at the dude who wrote headphone daemon? It watches headphone stuff, maybe it could up volume when plugged, as it stops stuff when unplugged.
That should do it.
That should do it.
