Thank you. I didn't read carefully mplayer's man page.

When I use `mplayer -af volume=n` within `n > 10`, I get so much noises. The acceptable value is 9 or 10. 

The sound files are taken from default installation of Pidgin, and I shouldnot ormalize them :) -- unless I want some lourder notifications.
