No, because of this:
 but cannot be used to re-create the RAR compression algorithm, which is proprietary.

You probably couldn't even combine it with LGPL code, but certainly not
with GPL code like MPlayer, and I think this was the primary reason the
patch was rejected (note that you are of course free to do whatever you
want on your own machine, but the resulting binary is not
redistributable).
