MPlayer was once very picky regarding the versions of ffmpeg that it
does compile with. Moreover MPlayer want to link all core libraries
together (for performance reasons). So I think not.

'ldd' does not mean anything: most versions of xvidcap ship a  copy of
ffmpeg in their own sources:

$ wget
http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/xvidcap/xvidcap-1.1.3-p7.tar.gz

$  tar xzf xvidcap-1.1.3-p7.tar.gz
$ du -s xvidcap-1.1.3-p7/ffmpeg/
6420    xvidcap-1.1.3-p7/ffmpeg/

$  wget
http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/xvidcap/xvidcap-1.1.3.tar.gz
$ tar xzf xvidcap-1.1.3.tar.gz
$ du -s xvidcap-1.1.3/ffmpeg/
6340    xvidcap-1.1.3/ffmpeg/
