default startup volume and remembering settings

[malcolm]

- I sometimes use smplayer with my headphones, and sometimes with the laptop's speakers. When I use the laptop's speakers I have the volume up much higher

- I have smplayer set up to "remember settings for all files"

- I watch many videos in chunks, so I use "remember settings for all files" to continue where I left off.

Since I have the settings saved (to continue where I left off), the volume is saved as well. This means that sometimes I put the headphones in and play the video resuming from where I left off, and because the volume is set way up, I hurt my ears.

I'd like to set a default volume for the video to start in, so that I won't hurt my ears. I don't mind having to raise the volume manually once the video resumes playing, if necessary.

I found the mplayer option, "-volume" and set it to 25 in the Advanced options for mplayer. It seems to work for a second (playing at the lower volume), but the video quickly goes back to the louder volume I had it on the last time I was playing it. I think this is because the "remember settings for all files" overrides the default mplayer volume, set in the advanced options.

Is there a way to set the startup volume in smplayer, while still remembering settings for all files?

I think there isn't, but I'll try to add an option for that.

The problem should be fixed in svn r5934. Now if the -volume option is used, smplayer won't change the volume.
