You misunderstood the code.
That variable sets the maximum possible volume, 1 divided by that number.

So If the 'softvol-normal' is '10', then you can crank up the volume all the 
way to 1000%, 10 times louder than the source.

And if its is '200', the maximum volume is '50%' (actually lower than default: 
100%. the maximum volume MPlayer would allow would be lower than the source 
volume...).

Setting it to 50, would mean the maximum is 200%, and since the default, 
source volume is 100%, its sitting right in the middle, and it lets you take 
it up as much as twice the original volume.
Get it? :)
