I recently upgraded a media-PC from 12.04 to 14.04. Now the audio-filter -af volnorm=2:0.25
of mplayer
does not seem to work any more. The filter is accepted by the command-line, but just doesn't dynamically adjust the volume as before. I tried to place it on different points in the filter chain, tried different values according to the man page, and verified using -v
that it is initialized during start. Other audio filters I use in the same filter chain, like channel
or pan
still work, so the chain itself seems to be processed.
Is there maybe a 3rd party repository/built of a more recent version of mplayer
I could try? Can I revert to the 12.04's mplayer
somehow?
(I am not really interested to switch to another player that also supports dynamic volume change.)
