[MPlayer-users] mplayer in slave mode

[Theo Beisch]

Corey, 
thanks - all problems solved (so far) - 1.0pre3 no longer crashes from 
loadfile.
A final question: is there a way to set absolute volume levels? I couldn't 
find any docs and just by try and error I found "volume +1" resp "volume -1" 
work incrementing/decrementing volume; sometimes however (yes, strange!) 
"volume - [or +] 100" sets volume to 0 from wherever it was. Bug or undoc'd 
feature ?
Regards
Theo
