Nice to hear at least somebody (besides me) uses the LADSPA plugin audio 
filter :-)  Funny thought that you mention "those of us who don't like a 
GUI". I never use gmplayer, but nevertheless I was thinking of adding GUI 
support to af_ladspa because it can be a PITA to tweak all the controls on 
the commandline. I haven't found a clean way to do so with the current 
architecture of MPlayer though. Ugly hacks in the filter chain (like 
filters making GTK calls) _have_ to be avoided. Anyway, if I'm able again 
to pick up on MPlayer development, I'll look into it. Also, I need to 
remove the in-filter int to float conversion and let af_format do that. As 
a bonus, that will allow ladspa filters to "overflow" the [-1.0,1.0] range, 
as long as the last filter in the chain is a limitter or gain filter that 
brings it back to a sane range without hard clipping.
