Hi! It took me some time to understand this -- there is no option in kdenlive 
for ffplay, for one thing. Turns out that multimedia/ffmpeg has an option, 
*SDL*, which is off by default. This option enables -- among other things -- 
ffplay. So I'm CC'ing the maintainer of multimedia/ffmpeg with this.

multimedia/kdenlive (ports in general) cannot depend on specific options in 
other ports -- not until subpackages arrive will that be possible at all. At 
that point, it **may** be possible to build multimedia/ffmpeg with all the 
options and depend on specific ones from multimedia/kdenlive.

In short: this is something the ffmpeg packagers might be able to solve; on 
the kdenlive side right now the best we could do is suppress the message.
