There isn't a problem per-se beside the fact mplayer codebase is quite
scattered and the faster way to achieve a wrapper might be fix the
missing function/struct one by one through the gcc output...

24h? Probably, maybe 30h and I guess we'd have some restriction in its
usage.

Well now we can improve adding filters in the slower way =).

That said _probably_ would be faster having libmp using the avfilters
and compare that way.
