Yes, as a double, which isn't a float, which is what mplayer uses.

It doesn't work in all cases, here's one at random:
431/13695 -> 902/28661

Why is av_d2q better if it only works in special cases?

Here is another case, a very real one, where it doesn't work:  60000/1001. 
That is MPEG frame rate code 7, which is used for 4 of the 18 ATSC standard
formats.  If mplayer and av_d2q() can't even get ATSC standardized formats
right, much less typical AVI files, isn't that a problem?
