Yup, the defaults appear to be ok.

    genius% mixer
    Mixer vol      is currently set to  90:90
    Mixer pcm      is currently set to  80:80
    Mixer speaker  is currently set to  75:75
    Mixer line     is currently set to  75:75
    Mixer mic      is currently set to   0:0
    Mixer cd       is currently set to  75:75
    Mixer rec      is currently set to   0:0
    Mixer ogain    is currently set to  50:50
    Mixer line1    is currently set to  75:75
    Mixer phin     is currently set to   0:0
    Mixer phout    is currently set to   0:0
    Recording source: mic

My guess is that the cd audio is routed via the laptop controller or
something.  There's something funny going on.  The docking station has
it's own amp and speakers and when the laptop is plugged into it I get
no sound out at all, but it returns when I disconnect the laptop; the
internal speakers get re-enabled.
