Thanks a lot for the explanation. You´re perfectly right. Your syntax is 
*exactly* what I was looking for. It works as desired.
Crisper sound, higher speed and keeping the pitch: all achieved.

I *was* reading the man-pages but still failed to comprehend the right 
syntax 😕.

Thanks so much again for your help. It´s highly appreciated.


@Erik:

Thanks for your comments as well.

Good to know.
As I´ve now learnt it works with audio_filters as well.


@Dave:

Hi and thanks,

 > I think each -af overrides the last, which explains why only the eq 
seems to be having any effect.

Yes, that´s plausible and it seems that´s exactly what happened using my 
original command.

 > If you keep the first filter as -af and then use -af-add for the 
following ones it might do want you want.

You´re perfectly right. This option also works as desired.

To sum up: There appear to be two solutions and  those two commands seem 
to work equally well:

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


*Thanks very much to all of you.
You helped me a great deal.

I need those commands for implementation in TTS-script (text-to-speech) 
I wrote. And now I can make it sound much more pleasing for my ears.  😁

Many greetings to you all and keep safe.
Rosika 😁
