Run two separate instances of mplayer with separate volume levels

I want to run two separate instances of mplayer. In the first, I want to run my primary audio stream. The second, I'm using to "overlay" sound effects on the primary audio stream. These sound effects are run at a different volume level. The problem I'm having is that when I play the sound affects at a different volume level, the volume changes in the playback of the primary audio stream as well. Is there a way to play the two streams at different audio levels when both streams are being played by separate mplayer instances?

  • Maybe you can use a mixer program, that is advanced enough to set the output level separately. Ubuntu Studio comes with a lot of audio and multimedia software.
