I'm not sure there is. If you are in the US, bear in mind that only the S6 has air suspension; all A6s in the US (and I think Canada as well) are fixed, spring suspensions. If you are sure you have air suspension, then a search in more european-centric forums might yield some results. Or you could check the S6 forum.

One problem is the search function in Audiworld seems to be malfunctioning and not returning any results.

I'd be interested in capability of adjustment in my S6.

The 'search this forum' search seems to work fine; the global one seems to have some issues. Try the per-forum one, even if you have to visit each relevant forum individually; you should have better luck.

There's a separate S6 forum in this BB that might have more answers. I think I had seen a couple messages addressing default height with the adjustable suspension, but I don't recall where, or even if it was in this BB. I know that they sell a module in Europe to re-map the air suspension (same concept as an ECU chip, but for the suspension). They are not cheap....

No.... I saw it while reading Audi forums a while ago, but since I have steel springs, I didn't pay much attention.

I have air suspension on my 2012A6. I looked into vag-com adjusting it when I got it but never got around to trying it. there is a procedure at ross-tech for how it's done, but Only for the C6: http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/levelcontrol.html. Gives you an idea anyway.

By the way, I thought this was AudiWorld, not AudiUSA ;-)

Great point, Mickelin. We tend to forget about the ROW (rest of world in Audi-speak). That is in part because it is too painful for us to think about the many extra goodies you get, compared to the U.S. - for example, your air suspension (without purchasing an S6); or Avants; or the RS6 model; or the TDI; etc. etc.
Now I'm depressed....
