from the mplayer html-docs:

2.3.2.4.6. Extrastereo

This plugin (linearly) increases the difference between left and right 
channels (like the XMMS extrastereo plugin) which gives some sort of 
"live" effect to playback.

Usage:

mplayer media.avi -aop list=extrastereo
mplayer media.avi -aop list=extrastereo:mul=3.45

The default coefficient (mul) is a float number that defaults to 2.5. If 
you set it to 0.0, you will have mono sound (average of both channels). 
If you set it to 1.0, sound will be unchanged, if you set it to -1.0, 
left and right channels will be swapped.

Stefan
