I don't know if the mplayer-dev guys care, but I found disabling 
'MPLAYER' to be useful when using the loader library for 3rd-party apps 
(like my initial import to mythtv).  I have since found ways to make it 
work properly with 'MPLAYER' defined (and so I don't personally care one 
way or the other), as it makes it easier to keep in sync with mplayer, 
but the define may be useful for others where mplayer IS the upstream 
for their projects.
