On the #gentoo channel on FreeNode, someone had the following issue, mplayer-1.1-r1 would not build. The problem was an undefined use of enum AVPixelFormat. Much searching found that this AVPixelFormat was being introduced in the patch file mplayer-1.1-libav-9.patch, a patch for mplayer. Strangely, the fellow did not have ffmpeg-1.1 nor libav-9 installed, which I'm told were the requirements for this patch being used. The reason I am posting this is because it seems wrong a priori for the enum to be called AVPixelFormat. FFMPEG installs libav headers that call the enum PixelFormat, which I believe is the older source. This libav patch seems to be propagating a change to a public header file that is already used, which is just wrong. Libav-9 which is at the moment masked should not be making such changes, and I hope that libav will stay masked until this change is undone. In sum, I believe the approach of changing the enum to AVPixelFormat is wrong and should be reported upstream. The patch file mplayer-1.1-libav-9.patch should be amended to call the enum PixelFormat, and the same should happen to libav. Thank you. Neil Cahill.
sounds like a non-issue these days but reassigning to the author of the patch
Looks like you have an old and unsupported (with known security issues) version of libavutil.
