I thought the intention was all of libavutil becoming "official API"
in the long term.
But since a ff_ prefix to always_inline was already considered too much
I wonder if suggesting FFBE_32 and av_bswap_32 everywhere has much of a
chance.
Anyway I can with little effort hack around any issues MPlayer has, I
was just thinking this way of fixing things not very clean.
If you prefer to ignore my opinion just because it is motivated by some
short-term inconvenience for MPlayer I can't change that.
