ffmpeg.
dxr3 driver used mp1e for a while, but recently, after Michael's
optimizations it switched back to ffmpeg. dvb driver always used ffmpeg, but
i made a never-commited mp1e version just for testing.

the main problem with mp1e is that it's designed for video capturing from
v4l devices. it results in mixed audio-video encoder, threading (pthreads)
for everthing, built-in fifo and buffering code and so on. it all conflicts
with mplayer design and philosophy :(
(it's buffering kills a-v sync, pthread usage cause crashes because of mplayer
is not thread-safe and it has lots of unneeded things like mpeg
multiplexer...) i've tried to cleanup mp1e, but gave it up after many hours
of reading gcc error logs...

sure :)
