Package: gnome-mplayer
Version: 1.0.7-4
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
as clarified in http://bugs.debian.org/699394#39 , gnome-mplayer
ignores any user-defined setting found in ~/.mplayer/config .
I don't think this is a good idea: I would like to avoid configuring
the same program (mplayer) over and over again, just because I use
it through different interfaces!
I would like to suggest that gnome-mplayer should read and use
(or let mplayer read and use) the settings found in ~/.mplayer/config ,
so that my preferences for mplayer are enforced within gnome-mplayer
too.
I hope my reasoning makes sense to you.
Please implement this new feature and/or forward my wishlist bug
report upstream.
Thanks for your time!

There won't be an option for that. But there is an "easy" workaround for
the problem: Create a shell script containing something like
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/gnome-mplayer --volume 20 "$@"
called gnome-mplayer somewhere in your $PATH before /usr/bin. Also make
sure that software volume control is enabled.
Alternatively, there's also a setting called
/apps/gecko-mediaplayer/preferences/player-backend. It's not accessible
from the preferences but via dbus/gconf (but I didn't try).
gecko-mediaplayer will launch the program mentioned there instead of
gnome-mplayer.
Since there is a workaround and there won't be any other fix for this,
I'm closing this bug. I hope this helps.
Regards
