I think this is a case of misleading UI layout. The horizontal slider in
the top-right corner isn't a volume control but a position-in-track
control. Start something playing and you can use it to jump around the
track. If instead you click on the speaker icon at the right-hand end
you get a vertical volume control that seems to work normally.

Am I understanding this right? If so, it's really a design issue.
Perhaps the horizontal slider should be inactive or invisible unless
something is playing.

Title:
  Volume slider set to minimum each time Rhythmbox starts, no matter
  what it was at before closing

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Triaged
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When you first start Rhythmbox, you will see the volume slider set to
  minimum. Move the slider to the right some distance then close and
  reopen the app. The slider will be back at zero.

  What should happen is the slider is set to half way on first startup,
  and then remembers its previous setting at each subsequent startup.
