you can also use the ALSA mixer if you have EasyDebian to drive the volume higher - increase 'DMA' a little - too high and it will be dangerous

The culprit was /home/user/.mplayer/sdl.volume

it is a text file and it was set to 17. I changed it to 100 and everything mplayer is loud and clear. I was able to turn off the software volume control and audio filter in the mplayer.conf file and it is still nice an loud.

Question: What UI program tends to mess with this value? As far as I'm concerned it should remain at 100% and i can use the master Maemo volume control to turn things down from there as needed.

I only "see" mplayerplug-in.types and mplayerplug-in.conf in /home/user/.mplayer/

In /etc/mplayer/
adding the following to the bottom of the file, mplayer.conf

Code:
softvol=yes
softvol-max=600
audio-delay=yes
audio-delay=10
solved my volume issue and I have been good to go ever since.

I think I found that^ bit in our WiKi at one time.

EDIT: Tried it - works.

or with filter if you wish:
af=volume=10.1:0
What is this optional filter meant to do? Any tweaking of the numbers advisable?

(Also, I suppose softvol=1 is the same as softvol=true. And the max numbers you just experiment with. I tried softvol-max=1400 as suggested here, and, wow, it resulted in lots of distortion even at low volume.)
