Does it really ?
What does POSIX say about functions in the base library ?
Does it specify, that libc may not export other functions than the
supported ones ?


I personally would prefer renaming the function in the mplayer code.
If you'd accept the patch, I'd go ahead and replace fast_memcpy by
_mp_vo_fast_memcpy or something like that.

BTW: wouldn't it be better (for performance) to code this as an inline 
function or a macro ? On most platforms it should be less than 5 ops
(didnt look at the code), so isnt a function call too expensive for
that job ? ... just a dumb question ...
