Sylvain Bertrand posted a "fix build with recent ffmpeg" patch on
mplayer-dev-eng, just yesterday. This is almost certainly the issue
which that patch is intended to fix.

It can take anywhere from a few hours to several days before someone
with commit access applies the patch, but in the meantime, it shouldn't
be hard to apply it locally yourself. (Although I do recommend applying
it against a copy of the source tree, rather than taking the risk of
forgetting to unapply it before updating after the patch gets applied
upstream.)
