There is *no* reason to create a file just for this.
As the code is platform dependant and threading related it should go to 
the existing platform-specific files libavcodec/*thread.c

Unless you need it from libavutils (then those should be moved to it).

Just declare av_get_num_processors() (or get_processor_count, but 
"get_processor_num" is semantically different, it means "get (the) 
processor number (but which number, ID ?)) in avcodec.h since other 
thread funcs are there.

sched.h seems quite common to me as system header name, at least it 
could potentially exist on non-linux for another API, you should likely 
check for the exact function you need.
And fall back to sysconf for pthread.

I'll take care of the beos code.

Just write a stub for OS/2 I suppose.
