A temporarly workaround is to downgrade media-libs/faac to 1.29.8.3 

emerge -1 =media-libs/faac-1.29.8.3 

Then, mplayer-1.3.0-r3 can compile.

[Comment 5 G.Wolfe Woodbury 2017-11-23 09:17:29 UTC]

This is fixed by faac version 1.29.9.2 that is now in the tree.

[Comment 6 Mart Raudsepp 2017-11-23 12:10:18 UTC]

This should be fixed with faac-1.29.9.2 bump, which restored API compatibility via an union for allowMidside varname. API breaking faac-1.29.9 is gone from tree.
(ah, I see such a comment is here already, but I was copy-paste'ing it for other bugs as well :)
