You have volume adjustment. It's the '0' and '9' keys.

If I run a video DVD (mplayer /dev/dvd), I get a video screen
with no controls (no sound either!).

You have plenty of controls. They're on the keyboard.

If I run streaming audio from the web, it works fine, but
again, it is a command line terminal with no adjustments.

There are tons of adjustments. RTFMP:

man mplayer

Is there suppose to be a gui interface for this thing?

There is.

What am I missing?

The ability to read the man page and search for "gui"?

Try mplayer -gui
