[MPlayer-users] Problem with volume setting being reset to max when -loop is used.

[James Ronald]

I wrote a touch screen front end that controls mplayer in slave mode.
Everything seem to be  working wonderfully except the "-loop" option.
I'm using "-loop 0" on the command line when starting mplayer in slave
mode.

./mplayer -ac mad -quiet -slave -loop 0 -idle -input
file=/tmp/.mplayer_pipe movie.avi

While running in this mode, if the volume setting is adjusted, on each
iteration of the loop, the volume seems to get reset to the original
setting.  Just like it was being run for the first time.  I built
MPlayer from  SVN r24633 for arm-linux 2.6.20 using gcc 3.4.6.   Any
ideas or a work around would be appreciated.
