There are TWO DIFFERENT video players RR can use: 1-MPC, 2-Built-in (windows API based). They do not share any settings for RR. So if you use the built-in player, MPC.INI is useless -- you can even delete MPC from your machine (unless you use it for DVD or something else).
Now, CODEC settings are configured globally for ALL applications and ALL players (those are windows level settings). So if you configure overrides/priorities for instance for the AC3Filter over other codecs, this is a global CODEC setting that even the built-in player will have to follow. MPC is simply an easy method to configure these overrides (The Filters section). MPC has many extra options over the built-in player, including gain control. While the AC3Filter may allow you to boost AC3 audio volume, other streams (non AC3), may stay soft when using the built-in player. If you don't use the built-in player, them MPC.INI will be used and MPC's gain options will most likely be effective.
What I typically recommend for this volume "issue" is either a mixer preset load (when going in/out of video), or lowering winamp's volume to where it matches the video volume (What I use). Video sound is softer ON PURPOSE, just so they can control a wider range of sound volume for effects and such.
