Description of -af format was outdated. This updates it. Feel free to change spelling or phrasing :) Note: There's no official spelling of endianness. Personally I prefer a single n, but the majority seems to use double n. Since I'm not a native speaker, I used 'endianness' here.

the mono channel is repeated in both of the output channels).
If the number of output channels is smaller than the number of input channels
the exceeding channels are truncated.

.TP
.B format[=bps:f]
Select the bytes per sample and the format used for output from the
filter layer.
The option bps is an integer and denotes Bytes per sample.
The format f is a string containing a concatenated mix of:
.br
alaw, mulaw or imaadpcm
.br
float or int
.br
unsigned or signed
.br
le or be (little- or big-endian)

.TP
.B volume[=v:sc]
Select the output volume level.

.IPs format
Sets the desired format.
The general form is 'sbe', where s denotes the sign (either s for signed or u
for unsigned), b denotes the number of bits per sample (16, 24 or 32) and e
denotes the endianness (le equals to little-endian, be to big-endian and ne to
the endianness that's native to the computer MPlayer is running on).
Valid values (amongst others) are: s16le, u32be and u24ne.
Exceptions to this rule are: u8, s8, floatle, floatbe, floatne, mulaw, alaw,
mpeg2, ac3 and imaadpcm.
