[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] Load af_volume when needed

Yes, this would be useful, I just didn't get to do it up to now.
First question: wouldn't it make more sense to add this to the 
set_volume function? I'd prefer if the volume filter didn't slow down 
things for people who don't actually need it. You might have to modify 
get_volume to return 90.0 by default when it can't get the volume...

I'd also like to have some status messages, replacing the 
MSGTR_NeedAfVolume message like e.g. "inserting af_volume for software 
volume control" and "couldn't insert af_volume".

Thanks for your efforts.

Greetings,
