We shouldn't leave these hacks just so another project can abuse the API. It's not our responsibility.
If these functions are used by other projects and they can't fix their stuff with the available public API,
then we should see how feasible making them public is and considering doing that.
And ideally, we should also take the opportunity to fix ffserver and get rid of every ff* export.

But whatever we do it should be done asap since we just bumped and no release was made just yet.
