Yes, if the API changes.
However, I never looked at that code, nor I have coded something for it,
I've heard lot of comments on the mplayer lists about the issue.

libdvdnav has own functions for dvd reading and data handling, altought
it would be better, if the caller could pass all the datas/pointers or
callbacks would be involved (stream reader callback)

For example (pseudocode)

my_stream_reader(char *buf, int len)
{
	...
	mplayer_stream_read(buf, len)
	...
}

...
dvdvnav_init(my_stream_reader)
...
loop{
...
dvdvnav_events()
...
}
...

This way the caller can use it's current structure for buffer handling,
and mplayer can use the caching system together with dvdnav.

This is the main point I've heard against current  dvdnav.
