| 220 | |
| 221 <P>This plugin delays the sound and is intended as an example of how to develop | |
| 222 new plugins. It can not be used for anything useful from a users perspective | |
| 223 and is mentioned here for the sake of completeness only. Do not use this | |
| 224 plugin unless you are a developer.</P> | |
| 225 | |
| 226 <P><B><A NAME=2.3.2.2.5>2.3.2.2.5. Software volume control</A></B></P> | |
| 227 | |
| 228 <P>This plugin is a software replacement for the volume control, and | |
| 229 can be used on machines with a broken mixer device. It can also be | |
| 230 used if one wants to change the output volume of <B>MPlayer</B> | |
| 231 without changing the PCM volume setting in the mixer. It has one | |
| 232 switch <CODE>volume</CODE> that is used for setting the initial | |
| 233 sound level. The initial sound level can be set to values between 0 | |
| 234 and 255 and defaults to 101 which equals 0dB amplification. Use this | |
| 235 plugin with caution since it can reduce the signal to noise ratio of | |
| 236 the sound. In most cases it is best to set the level for the PCM | |
| 237 sound to max, leave this plugin out and control the output level to | |
| 238 your speakers with the master volume control of the mixer. If there is an | |
| 239 external amplifier connected to the computer (this is almost always | |
| 240 the case), the noise level can be minimized by adjusting the master | |
| 241 level and the volume knob on the amplifier until the hissing noise | |
| 242 in the background is gone. | |
| 243 </P> | |

| 245 <P>Usage:<BR> | |
| 246 <CODE>mplayer media.avi -aop | |
| 247 list=volume:volume=<0-255></CODE> | |
| 248 </P> | |
| 249 | |
| 250 <P>This plugin also has compressor or "soft-clipping" capabilities. | |
| 251 Compression can be used if the dynamic range of the sound is very | |
| 252 high or if the dynamic range of the loudspeakers is very | |
| 253 low. Be aware that this feature creates distortion and should be | |
| 254 considered a last resort. | |
| 255 </P> | |
| 256 | |
| 257 <P>Usage:<BR> | |
| 258 <CODE>mplayer media.avi -aop | |
| 259 list=volume:softclip</CODE> | |

| 263 <P><B><A NAME=2.3.2.2.6>2.3.2.2.6. Extrastereo</A></B></P> | |
| 264 | |
| 265 <P>This plugin (linearly) increases the difference between left and right | |
| 266 channels (like the XMMS extrastereo plugin) which gives some sort of "live" | |
| 267 effect to playback. | |
| 268 </P> | |
| 269 | |
| 270 <P>Usage:<BR> | |
| 271 <CODE>mplayer media.avi -aop list=extrastereo</CODE><BR> | |
| 272 <CODE>mplayer media.avi -aop list=extrastereo:mul=3.45</CODE></P> | |
| 273 | |
| 274 <P>The default coefficient (<CODE>mul</CODE>) is a float number that defaults | |
| 275 to 2.5. If you set it to 0.0, you will have mono sound (average of both | |
| 276 channels). If you set it to 1.0, sound will be unchanged.</P> | |

| 280 | |
| 281 <P>This plugin maximizes the volume without distorting the sound.</P> | |
| 282 | |
| 283 <P>Usage:<BR> | |
| 284 <CODE>mplayer media.avi -aop list=volnorm</CODE><BR> | |

| 289 <P>Someone should document something, sometime.</P> | |
