I looked and it is not - mplayer is using lots of stuff in struct AVCodec
that used to be documented as not part of the public API - and they
sure show they mean it, it all moved to hidden internal structs
now.

    /*****************************************************************
     * No fields below this line are part of the public API. They
     * may not be used outside of libavcodec and can be changed and
     * removed at will.
     * New public fields should be added right above.

Maybe we need a ffmpeg51 in parallel for a while?
