As 'smplayer' supports using 'mpv' as its backend, is it possible to move
'mplayer' from the depends array of the package smplayer
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/smplayer/ to the
optdepends array? I've installed 'mplayer-vaapi' which provides 'mplayer'
as a dependency of 'smplayer'. And as 'mplayer-vaapi' is dropped now, I
just want to keep 'mpv' alone, rather than falling 'mplayer-vaapi' back to
'mplayer'.
Hope for your replies!

Are you dropping support for it because it has been forked & replaced upstream, or because of time constraints on your end? Or have you migrated away from nvidia graphics?
Like Armin said, mplayer-vaapi hasn't been kept in sync with mplayer since mid–2013. mpv can be used as a replacement and the latest smplayer (14.9.0.6690) also supports using mpv in place of mplayer.
