libdav1d
You can easily do this yourself as described in the README.
Yes i did that on my current build environment, the problem is remembering to do it in the future. I was not even aware it was required until yesterday when i gave my build of mpv a youtube link that was in AV1 and it wouldn't play it. To prevent a repeat of that for myself and others i sent a pull request with it added to the script.
I think a good solution would be to enable dav1d by default if it's installed like scripts/ffmpeg-config does for either gnutls or openssl.

It's possible, but in this case where do we stop?
The general principle of mpv-build seems to be that the user should enable what he needs, hence my first reply. But AV1 support is arguably a core feature to expect from a video player, so it makes sense to auto-detect.

Indeed. I would expect ffmpeg to actually provide it by default (autodetect), but it has to be explicitly enabled.
