On my system, that doesn't work either. I used as an example:

$ mplayer -volume 50 -fs -loop 0 -softvol Youtube/Come\ Live\ With\ Me-_bVNd_sRlMk.mkv

which sets the volume at 50%, and changed it with / and * whilst
playing. The volume resets to 50% with each loop.

$ mplayer -volume -1 -fs -loop 0 -softvol Youtube/Come\ Live\ With\ Me-_bVNd_sRlMk.mkv

The volume starts at 100% with each loop, regardless of how it was
changed during playing.

$ mplayer -volume '-1' -fs -loop 0 -softvol Youtube/Come\ Live\ With\ Me-_bVNd_sRlMk.mkv

Ditto.

Actually, the -softvol is redundant here, as mplayer doesn't have
any effect on my ALSA mixer settings. (Which would it choose?)

I'm not sure I'd install vlc just for looping when mpv can handle it
satisfactorily already. What else would it buy me? (for 40 extra
packages including Recommends).

Cheers,
