Reconsidering ffmpeg in Debian

I think in the Gentoo world, no. But sometimes upstream will only support one or the other.

For example, gstreamer's gst-libav plugin. It *used* to be called gst-ffmpeg. But upstream only supports libav now. Usually it works fine with ffmpeg. ffmpeg 2.3 comes out, now gst-libav doesn't work. User are forced to either stick with ffmpeg 2.2 or lower or switch to libav. Upstream doesn't officially support ffmpeg, so it will probably have to wait until Gentoo or someone else comes up with an unofficial patch.
