That is a really old version, and you should desperately update.

framepool.h is not a public header, and contains no publicly exported 
functions.
Even if you got the header, you couldn't use the functions since they're 
not exported from the library.

So no, you can't use any of the stuff in there outside of libavfilter.
It's also not in any way stable, so can break its API at any random point.
