Threaded decoding has been developed primarily in the Libav project and
has been merged to FFmpeg from there (Libav and FFmpeg are forks of the
project and both provide libavcodec, in case you're not aware). The
libav-devel list is probably a better place to ask questions about the
threading implementation.
