There seems to be a "Remember last software volume level" option, but:

 A) it can only be enabled if "MPlayer Software Volume Control Enabled"
is checked (and I have no idea what this other option means... could
you please clarify? the man page does explain much)

 B) what I would like to have is not an initial volume equal to the
value I adjusted last time I quit the program; I instead would like to
have a fixed initial volume level (like, for instance, 20 %) and then
adjust it depending on the video I am watching

There is a "--volume" command-line option that lets me set an initial
volume level (in percentage). Hence, if I issue the following command:

  $ gnome-mplayer --volume 20 some-video.ogv

I get whatever initial volume I want, but:

 A) I have to type this command-line option each time

 B) I do not know how to pass this command-line option to gnome-mplayer
when it is used inside my web browser (gecko-mediaplayer plug-in)

There is a "--softvol" command-line option that lets me enable MPlayer
Software Volume Control for just one session (without checking the
checkbox in the preferences), but the initial volume is again not read
from ~/.mplayer/config

:-(
