Hello, I could find a workaround for this.Put "aop=list=volume:volume=101" in /etc/mplayer.conf or in ~/.mplayer/gui.conf.This forces mplayer to use software mixing.The 101 means no amplification.You can replace it with whatever volume you want.Now the volume of mplayer is not related to the voulme of other applications.But the quality of sound at very high volume levels in not very good in software mixing.
