MPlayer's buffer system is very stupid and rather than implementing
the correct semantics of get_buffer for libavcodec, it implements only
a standard IPB-frame model, which cannot accommodate H.264 B pyramid
or any more complex frame ordering. Someday it will be rewritten but
don't hold your breath.
