First, mplayer uses its own bundled ffmpeg. It doesn't use |
| 7 |
media-video/ffmpeg at all. |

Furthermore, this is not what the "threads" USE flag does for ffmpeg. |

Those applications that allow you to specify an amount of threads assume |
| 11 |
you're using ffmpeg-mt instead of normal ffmpeg. ffmpeg-mt is a fork of |
| 12 |
ffmpeg and is not in Portage because it's still considered non-stable |
| 13 |
upstream. |

There's an ebuild in Gentoo Bugzilla for ffmpeg-mt and an mplayer that |
| 16 |
uses ffmpeg-mt as its bundled ffmpeg version. The mt mplayer ebuild can |
| 17 |
also be found in the wirelay overlay (it's in layman.) |
