Keep an eye on your volume(s), as you do not want to blast your speakers and/or your eardrums...
Practicing volume safety is always a good idea but since the startup chime is simply a flac thats added to the MPD Queue and played, the volume will always be the current MPD playback volume as set by the user or if MPD volume is set to Fixed (0dB) then its the level of the downstream volume control (Preamp, etc.). From a volume perspective, it's equivalent to the existing "Autoplay after start" feature. In either case the user controls the volume.
There is an alternative method to play a startup chime that involves using the ALSA aplay command. This doesn't require add/play to MPD Queue but the aplay command does not have any volume control, that has to be implemented separately and would require duplicating all the existing MPD volume management code including the case where CamillaDSP volume is used.
