+<H4><A NAME="af">2.3.2.3 Audio filters</A></H4>
+
+<P>The old audio plugins have been superseded by a new audio filter layer. Audio
+ filters are used for changing the properties of the audio data before the
+ sound reaches the sound card. The activation and deactivation of the filters
+ is normally automated but can be overridden. The filters are activated when
+ the properties of the audio data differ from those required by the sound card
+ and deactivated if unnecessary. The <CODE>-af filter1,filter2,...</CODE>
+ switch is used to override the automatic activation of filters or to insert
+ filters that are not automatically inserted. The filters will be executed as
+ they appear in the comma separated list.</P>
+
+<P>Example:<BR>
+ <CODE>mplayer -af resample,pan movie.avi </CODE></P>
+
+<P>would run the sound through the resampling filter followed by the pan filter.
+ Observe that the list must not contain any spaces, else it will fail.</P>
+
+<P>The filters often have switches that change their behavior. These switches
+ are explained in detail in the sections below. A filter will execute using
+ default settings if its switches are omitted. Here is an example of how to use
+ filters in combination with filter specific switches:</P>
+
+<P> <CODE>mplayer -af resample=11025,pan=1:0.5:0.5 -channels 1
+ -srate 11025 media.avi</CODE></P>
+
+<P>would set the output frequency of the resample filter to 11025Hz and downmix
+ the audio to 1 channel using the pan filter.</P>
+
+<P>Most filters respond to the <CODE>-v</CODE> switch, which makes the filters
+ print out status messages.</P>
+
+<P>The overall execution of the filter layer is controlled using the
+ <CODE>-af-adv</CODE> switch. This switch has two suboptions:</P>
+
+<DL>
+ <DT><CODE>force</CODE><DT>
+ <DD>is an integer between 0 and 3 that controls how the filters are inserted

+ <DT>1</DT>
+ <DD>Use automatic insertion of filters and optimize for the highest speed.
+ If this option is set the processing of the audio data will be done
+ using fix point arithmetics. Warning: Some features in the audio filters
+ will silently fail, and the sound quality may drop.</DD>
+ <DT>2</DT>
+ <DD>Use automatic insertion of filters and optimize for quality. If this

+
+<P>MPlayer fully supports sound up/down-sampling. This filter can be used if you
+ have a fixed frequency sound card or if you are stuck with an old sound card
+ that is only capable of max 44.1kHz. This filter is automatically enabled if
+ it is necessary, but it can also be explicitly enabled on the command line. It
+ has three switches:</P>
+
+<DL>
+ <DT><CODE>srate</CODE></DT>
+ <DD>is an integer used for setting the output sample
+ frequency in Hz. The valid range for this parameter is 8kHz to 192kHz. If
+ the input and output sample frequency are the same or if this parameter is
+ omitted the filter is automatically unloaded. A high sample frequency
+ normally improves the audio quality, especially when used in combination
+ with other filters.</DD>
+
+ <DT><CODE>sloppy</CODE></DT>
+ <DD>is an optional binary parameter that allows the output frequency to differ
+ slightly from the frequency given by <CODE>srate</CODE>. This switch can be
+ used if the startup of the playback is extremely slow.</DD>
+
+ <DT><CODE>fast</CODE><DT>
+ <DD>is an optional binary parameter that enables linear interpolation as
+ resampling method. Linear interpolation is extremely fast, but suffers from
+ poor sound quality especially when used for up-sampling.</DD>
+</DL>
+
+<P>Example:<BR>
+ <CODE>mplayer -af resample=44100:0:1</CODE></P>
+
+<P>would set the output frequency of the resample filter to 44100Hz using exact
+ output frequency scaling and linear interpolation.</P>
+
+
+<H5><A NAME="af_channels">2.3.2.3.2 Changing the number of channels</A></H5>
+
+<P>The <CODE>channels</CODE> filter can be used for adding and removing
+ channels, it can also be used for routing or copying channels. It is
+ automatically enabled when the output from the audio filter layer differs from
+ the input layer or when it is requested by another filter. This filter unloads
+ itself if not needed. The number of switches is dynamic:</P>
+
+<DL>
+ <DT><CODE>nch</CODE></DT>
+ <DD>is an integer between 1 and 6 that is used for setting the number of
+ output channels. This switch is required, leaving it empty results in a
+ runtime error.</DD>
+
+ <DT><CODE>nr</CODE></DT>
+ <DD>is an integer between 1 and 6 that is used for specifying the number of
+ routes. This parameter is optional. If it is omitted the default routing is
+ used.</DD>
+
+ <DT><CODE>from1:to1:from2:to2:from3:to3...</CODE></DT>
+ <DD>are pairs of numbers between 0 and 5 that define where each channel should
+ be routed.</DD>
+</DL>
+
+<P>If only <CODE>nch</CODE> is given the default routing is used, it works as
+ follows: If the number of output channels is bigger than the number of input
+ channels empty channels are inserted (except mixing from mono to stereo, then
+ the mono channel is repeated in both of the output channels). If the number of
+ output channels is smaller than the number of input channels the exceeding
+ channels are truncated.</P>
+
+<P>Example 1:<BR>
+ <CODE>mplayer -af channels=4:4:0:1:1:0:2:2:3:3 media.avi </CODE></P>
+
+<P>would change the number of channels to 4 and set up 4 routes that swap
+ channel 0 and channel 1 and leave channel 2 and 3 intact. Observe that if
+ media containing two channels was played back, channels 2 and 3 would contain
+ silence but 0 and 1 would still be swapped.</P>
+
+<P>Example 2:<BR>
+ <CODE>mplayer -af channels=6:4:0:0:0:1:0:2:0:3 media.avi </CODE></P>

+ <LI>Calculated the required delays in ms as<BR>
+ d[i] = 1000*s[i]/342; i = 1...5 </LI>

+
+<P>Example:<BR>
+ <CODE>mplayer -af delay=10.5:10.5:0:0:7:0 media.avi</CODE></P>
+
+<P>would delay front left and right by 10.5ms, the two rear channels and the sub
+ by 0ms and the center channel by 7ms.</P>
+
+
+<H5><A NAME="af_volume">2.3.2.3.5 Software volume control</A></H5>
+
+<P>This filter is a software volume control. Use this filter with caution since
+ it can reduce the signal to noise ratio of the sound. In most cases it is best
+ to set the level for the PCM sound to max, leave this filter out and control
+ the output level to your speakers with the master volume control of the mixer.
+ If there is an external amplifier connected to the computer (this is almost
+ always the case), the noise level can be minimized by adjusting the master
+ level and the volume knob on the amplifier until the hissing noise in the
+ background is gone. This filter has two switches:</P>
+
+<DL>
+ <DT><CODE>v</CODE></DT>
+ <DD>is a floating point number between -200 and +60 which represents the
+ volume level in dB. The default level is -10dB.</DD>
+
+ <DT><CODE>c</CODE></DT>
+ <DD>is a binary control that turns soft clipping on and off. Soft-clipping can
+ make the sound more smooth if very high volume levels are used. Enable this
+ switch if the dynamic range of the loudspeakers is very low. Be aware that
+ this feature creates distortion and should be considered a last resort.</DD>
+</DL>
+
+<P>Example:<BR>
+ <CODE>mplayer -af volume=10.1:0 media.avi</CODE></P>
+
+<P>would amplify the sound by 10.1dB and hard-clip if the sound level is too
+ high.</P>
+
+<P>This filter has a second feature: It measures the overall maximum sound level
+ and prints out that level when MPlayer exits. This volume estimate can be used
+ for setting the sound level in MEncoder such that the maximum dynamic range is
+ utilized.</P>
+
+
+<H5><A NAME="af_equalizer">2.3.2.3.6 Equalizer</A></H5>
+
