[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] making coreaudio ao remember the volume in a playlist

[Stefano Pigozzi]

Well, I think it is a really useful feature (so I will try to get this
integrated in one way or another). I asked Uoti some days ago on IRC and he
told me that some AOs save the volume correctly, thats why I looked into
coreaudio to implement this.

Since I don't know a lot about mplayer's architecture, could you suggest me
where the AOs are initialized? I guess that would be an appropriate place to
add the feature.

By using -volume 100 it would still set the volume 100 at the start of eah
file without remembering what the user might have chosen during the
playlist.
