Here is a diff. 

BTW:
If anyone feels like enabling the -af switch in mencoder - feel
free to do it, I don't want to poke around in mencoder cause I don't
know it well enough, but there is no reason that it shouldn't work.

-Select the format f used for output from the filter layer.
-The format is selected according to the defines in libao2/afmt.h.
-The option bps is an integer and denotes bytes per sample and has to conform

 This filter is not reentrant and can therefore only be enabled once for every
 audio stream.

-The gain can be set from -60dB to +20dB (where -60dB equals a gain of 1/1000
-and +20dB equals a gain of 10).
+v: desired gain in dB for all channels in the stream. The gain can be
+set from -200dB to +40dB (where -200dB mutes the sound completely and
++40dB equals a gain of 1000). The default gain is -20dB.

-pr: enable probing of the audio stream instantaneous.
-The maximal volume is probed on a per channel basis and can only be accessed
-through the runtime interface of the filter.
+pr: enable probing of the volume level for each audio stream. Both the
+maximum and instantaneous volume is probed. The instantaneous volume
+can only be accessed through the runtime interface, but the maximum
+volume is printed at the end of the movie. This value can be used when
+transcoding movies to maximize the utilization of the dynamic range.
