I've never been able to use -af volume along with the volume slave command. If 
I use -af volume=-200 to start silent, then the volume command doesn't work, 
even if I set it to 100 there's no sound. I suppose there'll be a way to make 
it work, but it's not obvious to me.

I find the -volume option from the patch much better. I can use the same value 
I use for the slave command, and it's not required to use another filter 
more.

Also, many slave commands have a direct equivalent for command line: 
brightness, contrast, osd... why not volume?
