You don't know what you are talking about. The proprietary codecs are external modules, that's why Michael tried to implement the DLL loader... AFAIK pthreads is not used in the DOS port, there is no adequate pthreads DJGPP port (the one which I know to exist is unusable with Mplayer).

Try to logically analize your stance.
