Patch from Slackware

See https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/mplayer-current-cant-play-some-flac-files-4175574554/ for details.

The attached fix patch is something I stole from Slackware.  See MPlayer.demux_lavf.flac.diff.gz	in http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware-current/source/xap/MPlayer/.  Please give credit if possible if this is applied.

And here's how I applied it to the ebuild.

Comment 1 konsolebox 2016-10-11 08:13:07 UTC
Sorry I meant mplayer 1.2.1.  I didn't try applying it with 1.2 (-r2).
Comment 2 alcyone 2017-10-25 18:18:16 UTC
Never had a problem with this before, but now I have with mplayer-1.3.0-r3. Due to various build errors I cannot emerge later versions of mplayer to test where this has changed.

I checked libmpdemux/demux_lavf.c of mplayer 1.3.0. It seems like "flac" is still not included there. Try applying the patch, or try manually adding "flac" in demux_lavf.c if you want to have "lavf" as a default demuxer.
