mpeg2 support in kernel?

[Britton]

I see the following snipet of code in the O'Reilly Linux Multimedia Guide:

if (formats & AFMT_MPEG) {
  printf("  MPEG 2");
  (deffmt == AFMT_MPEG) ? printf(" (default)\n") : printf("\n");
}

Is there something you can compile into the kernel that will let the "dsp"
produce mpeg 2 encoded stuff?  If so I'd love to know about it.
