Comment (by jyavenard):
Replying to [comment:6 heleppkes]:
> libavcodec et al have not been "drop-in" ABI compatible between FFmpeg
and Libav for a long time, unless they were specifically built for that -
which no distribution did.
Do you realise how many distributions our binary distribution support and
how many million users that represent?
We do not ship ffmpeg, we can only use whatever library is currently
present, libavcodec and libavutil being dynamically linked when required.
We have no way to tell at present which version it is we are loading.
Seeing that we are only using libavcodec (we do the demuxing ourselves),
having a compatible AVCodecContext structure is pretty much all we need.
