Default volume setting is ignored

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Change Edit->Preferences->Player->Default Volume Level to 5
2. Restart gnome-mplayer
3. Play any audio file

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
mplayer is always launched with '-volume 100' option. It should be '-volume 5'

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.8
Tiny Core Linux

Please provide any additional information below.
gnome-mplayer '--volume' option is also ignored.

Note that 'Mplayer Sofware Volume Control' is not enabled.

I don't see a Edit->Preferences->Player->Default Volume Level in my code are 
you sure you are running 1.0.8?

I just checked the code and made some fixes to SVN (r2426) that should allow 
the --volume option to work properly with and without softvol being enabled. Be 
careful with this as setting --volume 100 will run your audio system at max 
volume for all audio if softvol is not enabled. If you are using headphones 
this could hurt your ears.

Thanks for fast reply.

'Edit->Preferences->Player->Default Volume Level' is displayed when you compile 
without alsa development files or with "--without-alsa" option in configure 
script.
You can see the code here:
http://code.google.com/p/gnome-mplayer/source/browse/trunk/src/gui.c#5812

Now (r2426) with "--volume" option it works fine but does not if I set it into 
'Default Volume Level' spin.

Ok this should be fixed now in SVN. Any particular reason why you are disabling 
alsa support?

Wow, really fast...thanks for fix.

I'm disabling alsa support because mplayer from TinyCore Linux was compiled 
without alsa driver support:

$ mplayer -ao help

Available audio output drivers:

Oh, I forgot it... All works well now, but a minor issue remains:

Default value for volume is 0 so when running first time (i.e. configuration 
has not been saved yet) volume control is showed as muted. 100 as default value 
would be better.
