Comment (by pulkomandy):

 Well, as mentionned earlier in the ticket, this doesn't seem to be an
 actual problem for MediaPlayer, which plays everything we throw at it just
 find and without any crashes.

 MediaConverter fails to work for other reasons, as it also doesn't work on
 gcc4 IIRC.

 So what would that fix?

 Moreover, we still need to provide media decoding to gcc2 compiled apps,
 and ffmpeg seems to do the job just fine. What about we patch ffmpeg to
 remove that annoying message? At this point we can be fairly sure that it
 works anyway (most likely because we compile it with SSE2 disabled) and
 that it's safe to continue using it that way.
