This is only the case if another ffmpeg-version is used, you could stick with that ffmpeg that would come as stock package, adding options without further player-recompilation. If you really need a bleeding edge ffmpeg, than you'll have to recompile your player against ffmpeg anyway to be able to playback the files.

I use ffmpeg and mpv, and I'm glad I can add those to my system without breaking other parts that I would have to rebuild if a system level ffmpeg library were used.

MPlayer/Xine could break, of what interest are these if one uses mpv?
If Mplayer/Xine are really wanted with the limited ffmpeg(thats the current case), you could build them statically with ffmpeg. I think most people would be happier with adding codecs to alle players using a stock ffmpeg.
