Watch out. These are raw FreeBSD patches from a "port". These
patches are destructive, i.e. they break support for other
operating systems.

One can obtain information from them on how to adapt the original
software (mplayer in this case) so that it will compile on FreeBSD
w/o these patches.
    But IMHO the port maintainer should do that work and supply
ready-to-commit-patches to the maintainer of the original software.
