The problem is that a version of lavc after this patch claims to support
PIX_FMT_VAAPI_VLD for real video msmpeg4, mpeg4, h263 ...
but it does not support any of it (yet)
if this version of lavc is linked against a mplayer of lets say 3 month
later that already does have VAAPI-mpeg4 support then its get_format() will
select PIX_FMT_VAAPI_VLD and things would fall apart ...
