Indeed, the Totem volume control doesn't affect the master volume, or any other hardware mixer: Totem uses a software mixer.
The slider from the gnome mixer applet only affects the master volume.
XMMS by default (in Ubuntu) defaults to the hardware PCM mixer. I don' t know about mplayer...

If you open XMMS and decrease the volume, the PCM mixer is decreased. The software mixer from Totem, nor the master volume is affected by this. You can however increase the volume without opening XMMS, by opening the gnome-mixer window and increase the PCM slider.
