mplayer currently installs the libpostproc library. According to 
 Derk-Jan Hartman in bug 12999 and 27051 libpostproc's final target is ffmpeg. Both mplayer and ffmpeg currently have libpostproc source. I have created a seperate ebuild for libpostproc. There is precedent for this in rpm based systems. This ebuild uses the ffmpeg source.

I also have a modified mplayer ebuild that will not install libpostproc. This libpostproc ebuild checks to make sure that an earlier version of mplayer does not exist on the system. I did this check in pkg_setup. It would be nice to do it DEPEND, however, it's really an "undepend". It's okay if mplayer isn't installed. If it is installed it must be over a certain version (that I will provide a link to shortly).

This co-exists fine with ffmpeg and mplayer. I have a new vlc ebuild (0.7.1) coming that requires this libpostproc. My vlc build works with this libpostproc.

Related bugs 12999, and 27051.

After discussion on gentoo-dev I combined this into my proposed ffmpeg ebuild (43641). So I am closing this bug as a duplicate of 43641 since that where the fix is going.
