Up to media-video/mplayer-1.2_pre20130729 (the previous stable version), mplayer supported ffmpeg or libav. Now this support has suddenly been dropped, creating multiple blockers for all people who followed Gentoo's "virtual/ffmpeg"-preference for media-video/libav (which has been changed again in favor to media-video/ffmpeg since then).
