That's probably because you're using the volume filter in a way it isn't
supposed to be used...
Did you try leave it out from the commandline and use ao sdl instead?
Also you might want to look at mixer.c, lines 24 and 48. Removing the
ifs should give you software volume control.
Also by adjusting (replacing) the values 90.0 and 180.0 (2*90.0) you can
adjust the possible range of the volume.
Care to make a patch to allow to select all this on the command line?
;-)
