Ok, sorry, I didn't know those informations were relevant. This is what I have in my config:

vo=xv
double=yes
ao=alsa
softvol=1

So yes, I'm using the XVideo driver. Switching to vo=x11 doesn't show those settings, quickly using vlc with xv uses those settings. So I solved it by putting

brightness=0
contrast=0
hue=0
saturation=0

into the config.
