Not really, twolame and toolame are using different namespaces so in
principle they should work together. I think they only don't because of
some library bugs or something.
This is different from this case, where (unless Mac OS was to be
redesigned completely) the _exactly_ same named functions are doing completely
different things.

Yes, that might be the "right" solution, but I just preferred the
"simple but stupid" one.

I do not care much either, I just realized that OSX 10.5.8+Xcode 3.1.3
result in a "crashing by default" MPlayer (i.e. unless you specify
configure options or a -vo at runtime the generated MPlayer will crash
for all video files), which really should be fixed I think.
