wm4 62daa08d3b mplayer: keep volume persistent, even when using --volume
Consider:

    mpv --volume 10 file1.mkv file2.mkv

Before this commit, the volume was reset to 10 when playing file2.mkv.
This was inconsistent to most other options. E.g. --brightness is a
rather similar case.

In general, settings should never be reset when playing the next file,
unless the option was explicitly marked file-local. This commit
corrects the behavior of the --volume and --mute options.

File local --volume still works as expected:

    mpv --{ --volume 10 file1.mkv file2.mkv --}

This sets the volume always to 10 on playback start.

Move the m_config_leave_file_local() call down so that the mixer code
in uninit_player() can set the option volume and mute variables without
overwriting the global option values.

Another subtle issue is that we don't want to set volume if there's no
need to, which is why the user_set_volume/mute fields are introduced.
This is important because setting the volume might change the system
volume depending on other options.

mpv
###

Overview
========

**mpv** is a movie player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide
variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types.

If you are wondering what's different from mplayer2 and MPlayer you can read
more about the changes_.

Compilation
===========

Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of ``./configure --help`` for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
``./configure``. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file ``config.log`` may contain
information about the reasons for the failure.

Essential dependencies (incomplete list):

- gcc or clang
- X development headers (xlib, X extensions, libvdpau, libGL, libXv, ...)
- Audio output development headers (libasound, pulseaudio)
- fribidi, freetype, fontconfig development headers (for libass)
- libass
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
- libjpeg
- libquvi if you want to play Youtube videos directly
- libx264 if you want to use encoding (has to be explicitly enabled when
  compiling ffmpeg)

Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal
Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be
too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use
the separately available build wrapper (mpv-build_) that first compiles FFmpeg
libraries and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against
those.

If you are running Mac OSX and using homebrew we provide homebrew-mpv_, an up
to date formula that compiles mpv with sensible dependencies and defaults for
OSX.

Bug reports
===========

Please use the `issues tracker`_ provided by GitHub to send us bug reports or
feature requests.

Contributing
============

For small changes you can just send us pull requests through GitHub. For bigger
changes come and talk to us on IRC before you start working on them. It will
make code review easier for both parties later on.
