From what you described, 'something' was reverting audio to a preset volume |

level. If it wasn't kmix's desktop setting, I assumed it would be application |
| 19 |
specific. |

From what I recall mplayer doesn’t support VAAPI for hardware acceleration, |
| 31 |
but I moved from mplayer to mpv quite a few years now and have not kept up |
| 32 |
with mplayer's development. As a matter of fact I had to check mplayer was |
| 33 |
still in portage! :-) |
