mplayer doesn't use system ffmpg


The question was aimed at the fact thatt mplayer too has faac as depends...

As an opinion: I'd rather not want to recompile mplayer every time
there's an update, been there before because of other reason, it's not
much fun. Using mencoder to convert avis to mp4 to use on Android:
those _do_ require faac, as much as I can tell....

now i understand the question. It won't be removed. I did it for ffmpeg because it has a big warning after ./configure

License: nonfree and unredistributable

maybe mplayer does it right and doesn't link to incompatible licence

Many packages in Arch Linux are considered "non-free" in other distros this is what I much like about Arch Linux :)
