You misunderstand the FFmpeg versioning.
We are at 57 already and it must not be changed (since more than a month).
Yesterday, I had missed that the original commit changing the type of
bitrate fixed one (or actually two iirc) real-world bug reports, so I will
close this ticket as wontfix since the commit in question definitely
cannot be reverted.

API we were using (get_buffer, memory allocation etc..)
Do I understand correctly that this is unrelated?

That is what I mean: Which distribution will be an issue for you in the
future (once newer releases are available)?
