Hello again,
since I am not satisfied with the "workaround" suggested by upstream
and mentioned in <http://bugs.debian.org/700189#64>, I am trying to see
whether I can come up with a patch that makes gnome-mplayer avoid
passing the "-volume" option to mplayer in certain situations.

When I saw the "use_volume_option" variable in src/main.c:1309,
I thought I found the way to do it: it seemed that setting that
variable to FALSE could disable the use of the "-volume" option in the
mplayer command line.

I tried to modify the src/main.c accordingly, but it seems to me that
the "use_volume_option" variable has no effect at all.
It is indeed 0 (checked with gdb), but the mplayer command line still
includes the "-volume" option...
Before this issue drives me completely crazy, could you please clarify
what's wrong in my reasoning?
Is the "use_volume_option" variable actually used for anything?
Is there an easy way to disable the passing of the "-volume" option to
mplayer (without a major code overhaul)?

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time!
