Bind a key to "af_clr" (see DOCS/tech/slave.txt - in MPlayer SVN,
it seems Debian doesn't install that, it might be worth including it
even though it is mostly targeted at frontend developers).

-af-clr, and that one is documented in the MPlayer man-page, right
at the start of the "AUDIO FILTERS" section.
Disclaimer: I did not test that they actually work, but if not
that should be a bug.
