That's not human way, that's robot way.
Many players has limitation of volume at start, limitation or smooth increasing up to defined before turn-off level.

That only works if you assume the person is using the stock player headphones. With rockbox, that might not be a good assumption, and some people with sensitive headphones would still get blasted, while others with less sensistive ones would get too quiet output.
If you're really concerned, why not use replaygain to adjust the playback level of your files a little?

This works ALWAYS. If you have an option: "Start with XXdb level volume", this will work ever. And it is good assumption: to let person choose start volume level...
Look at MortPlayer (freeware software player for PocketPC) - it has start level predefined! Look at Iriver Imp-900 (cd-player) - it has smooth volume increasement after start!

Handy volume limiting, no extra calories from fat.

There is no need to limit it for all time, just for the start...
