Built/tested on current/amd64:

Been using a prior diff for two-ish months and this patch for almost a
week. No issues while I ran this multiple times a day.

Built and runs fine in niri/xwayland-satellite and sway/xwayland.

Had this in sway ~/.config/sway/config:

# Label XWayland windows to check for native wayland support (dev)
for_window [shell="xwayland"] title_format "[XWayland] %title"

--

to try various outputs shown in 'mpv --vo=help' and see what is in
use.

Also recompiled:

multimedia/mpvqt
x11/kde-applications/kalarm
x11/kde-applications/plasmatube
x11/smplayer

Which all compiled fine too and from very light testing seem to have no
regressions from the mpv currently in ports.

Hope this helps! Thank you all as I use this a lot and seems it could
make it before the freeze. May you all have a good one and happy
porting.
