Notice the comma in the above, before 'filter2'.

I haven't tried this myself, and don't have much experience with using
filters, but I'd suggest you see what you get from:

mplayer -af
scaletempo=scale=1.2:speed=pitch,lavcresample=44100,equalizer=0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:7:7
-srate 44100 test.wav

My guess is that each time you specified the '-af' option, it was
overriding the value you set with the previous time, so that in the end
only the equalizer filter was being applied.
