The options passed to mplayer are assembled in gmtk. The function you're
looking for is launch_mplayer in src/gmtk_media_player.c. Just grep for
"-volume" in that file.

(I'm not sure if it's enough to just patch out "-volume". There is some
interaction between the volume control widget and mplayer too.)

Hope that helps
