Hmmmph, FFmpeg's monolithic design bites us in the rear again. :-( Just as 
all codecs are stuffed into a single libavcodec, all devices are stuffed 
into a single libavdevice. JACK support should really be an optional 
subpackage, but with FFmpeg's braindead design, it can't be, grrr… So I'm 
not sure what to do about that. Native PulseAudio support, on the other 
hand, should be in the main package anyway, given that it's the default 
sound system in Fedora.

Someone really needs to fork FFmpeg to make it use plugins for these things! 
Sadly, the fork that exists was made only over silly politics, both projects 
agree on the fundamental things such as that stupid monolithic design.
