of course.
it must be optional, and disabled by default.

anyway the mplayer binary can support dynamic loading even if the normal
codecs drivers etc are compiled in, but this way third-party plugins can
work.

for my plan, it will search the compiled-in drivers first, if no match then
it will try to dlopen vo_sdl.so and if failed then fail.
maybe we also need a way to force usage of the external plugin? maybe prefer
external one to internal if both exists?

dunno
