2)Thers is no way to syncronize video with audio while mediaplayer from microsoft works fine

ATM, there's no need to install DirectX 9 on your computer unless you own one of the new NVIDIA FX cards and most likely you don't.
For the rest of the non-priviledged it does not improve your video system performance, AFAIK, since its main new features are only available if your graphic card supports DX9. Though Microsoft introduces a new video renderer engine that includes video mixing capabilities and thus may be the reason why bsplayer refuses to work.

I urge you to read carefully installation notes before installing new software!
I know it's the old song, but in case of DX, if you upgrade you normally cannot switch back, the system simply refuses to install lower version number DirectX nor were you able to uninstall it. See, easy way to screw your system.
Fortunately, there were some freaks to come up with a way to uninstall DX. I recommend to use this with care for it is not authorized by M$!

Yes you are rigth.But before testing a new software(expecially new directx!) I use driveimage to backup the whole hard disk.
So to go back to directx 8 .1 was fast!!

Well, i got DirectX v9 installed, and i have no problems with the volume, either in fullscreen or in window.

I dont have one of those fancy new graphics card, i got a ATI Xpert 2000 pro card.

Platform Winxp sp1

Tried with bsplayer v0.8.6.493 and v0.8.6.494. No problems.

Yes,I discovered that the volume problem that I have is not depending from directx but from the from reclock direct show filter that I have installed.The filter is really usefull to reclock the audio and video card
but it's audio compressor creates problems on the volume control of bsplayer
