check out this site: http://nikita.melnichenko.name/blog.php?id=5&topic=gentoo-ebuild-mplayer-mt&lang=en He's got an ebuild for building mplayer with ffmpeg-mt (one of the comments indicates some minor changes may be needed for recent versions). Mplayer's website also mentions SVN snapshots of mplayer with the mt code as well. The URL given does not resolve for me, though: http://just.mooo.com/mplayer-svn-mt.tar.bz2
