This behavior is strange and persistent in the newer release Olive 0.2.0-617ff876

Importing any audio file to a sequence turns out silent, with a blank waveform preview.

I have to input a positive volume value to get Olive to play it and update the waveform preview.
Then, switching back to 0db still plays audio and negative db values properly reduce the volume.
