certainly, so your patch just moves code? if so iam sorry for complaining
i just read your message not the code, if OTOH it introduces new Framers
then i really think you move in the wrong direction, as you duplicate
the existing AVParser with no technical reason,  if there where one i 
would like to know it so i can improve the AVParsers

and rewriting AVParsers will be more work than you think, there are
plenty special cases to deal with and correct timestamp reordering 
for MPEG* is not easy mplayers handling of them is IIRC completely wrong

i would suggest to merge the mplayer framers which are hacked into various
parts of the code with AVParser and use AVParser instead
the dependancy on lavc surely is there but so is there a dependancy on
your framer code, 
avoiding dependancy on existing code == NIH syndrom
