No, he didn't.

Actually, lavc=9000 should do the trick, but it still gives me a max.
bitrate of 2.2 MBytes/s.
Only if I use 5000 I get 1.2 MByte/s, which is 9.6 Mbit/s.

So something is wrong with the lavc parameter, because mplayer's
man-page says:

So 9000 should give me 9Mbit/s, but I get up to 17.2Mbit/s...
