This is a playback option.  I'm really looking for a record option, or a
playback keyboard command that would cycle through the 4 sound playback

right on both channels (Lang 2).

Yup.  This should work, but I'd still rather control it via mplayer.

(I'm not grousing; I have some appreciation of the amount of work that's
gone into mplayer.  Thanks to all the developers for this marvelous
piece of software.)
