Gee, that's no fun. I used "git -S" to search for changes, and found
this commit in git master, and it didn't look like a no-op at all. But
then, you're right, it touched avconv, and wasn't merged over to ffmpeg
probably.

I guess it was undeprecated by making it work properly again, which is
fair enough, as far as I'm concerned. Still, is it preferred to use a
filter? Then my doc change stands.

Whatever ;-)

Patch dropped,
