Should be easy to implement.

I wrote a vf_dl module to dynamic load video filters, but Arpi said it
would be better to integrate this into the main filter loader, change
the makefiles so all existing filters get built as .so's if dynamic
loading is enabled, etc. It's a good idea, but it'll be a good bit
more work. Also, the -rdynamic flag (which seems to be needed to
export the symbols from mplayer to the dynamic loaded filters
properly) adds a good bit to the size of the mplayer binary. I don't
know what the best way to deal with this is...

As for audio, that will have to wait for the new audio layer. The
current -aop system is really bad.

IMHO this type of thing isn't a good idea until the mencoder
architecture is improved quite a bit. I don't know why the vobsub
stuff went in mencoder as-is, it seems a pain to have to run through
an encode just to get vobsubs out.
