I use mplayer from the command line, on an N800, and I need a way to boost the volume. I've noticed that other players (canola2 and media player, which I think are based off of the same player), get much higher volume than mplayer's max. How can I get mplayer's volume up near those other apps?

For commuting, I listen to news and other talk podcasts. If something loud drowns out the earbuds, I can just hit the D-button once to "rewind" 10 seconds, so for this reason cli mplayer is better than media player or canola2. I also tried media box, since the website says that it uses mplayer but the D-pad doesn't work as it does with cli mplayer.

I guess I have two questions:
1) is there a way to boost mplayer's volume?
2) is there another player which has a 10-second rewind or similar feature? I like the way the n800's media player does views but barring that, any directory based view would be great.


Thanks,

Joe
