[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] disable mediaLib by default and make test Solaris-only

[Derek E. Lewis]

mediaLib has been broken for quite awhile now on Solaris/SPARC in lavc,
and will definitely not be fixed before pre8 is released.  Whenever a
user encodes using lavc they get a 'thick' green-tint in the output
file.  A similar event takes place when decoding.

mediaLib provides no performance gains for x86 -- in reality, it does
the opposite.  After doing some quick decoding benchmarks[1] between
MPlayer binaries /w mediaLib  and w/o mediaLib, I calculated that
MPlayer is 2.3x faster on Solaris/x86 if one disables mediaLib, which is
not the default, now.

I've also made mediaLib a Solaris-only test, and updated the ChangeLog
to reflect this patch.

Thanks,

[1] Tests done using `matrixbench_highdivx_ac3.avi' in the testsuite and
lavc for decoding.
