[Bug 4258] Review request: libav - Audio and video processing libraries

Is there any real need for this package in RPMFusion? FFmpeg is almost 100% backwards compatible with libav. The one package that I thought still used bundled libav (gstreamer1-libav) actually switched back to FFmpeg last year. Most of the symbols in the provided libraries have the same names, so you'd have to be extremely careful not to end up with another package depending on both ffmpeg-libs and libav in the future. Since libvdpau-va-gl (the vaapi-to-vdpau bridge that's required to use Intel GPUs via vdpau) depends on ffmpeg-libs, this might be trickier than you think. Even renaming the libraries and their sonames won't help here. You'd have to rename the symbols, too.
