This situation sucks. gst-ffmpeg developers are working on the
unstable 0.11.x code with an *also* unstable Libav API
No they are not, if you are not or poorly informed on a topic please
don't just don't reply rather then spreading non-sense / fud.
If you look here:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-ffmpeg/log
You can clearly see that the latest update of the libav git submodule is:
"libav: Update to 0.8.3 release"
So they are sticking purely to stable libav releases / API. Yes they are
not supporting the latest ffmpeg stable release / API. This is their
choice and they have every right to choose for libav.
Note that in this case it is ffmpeg which is complicating things by making
non parallel installable ABI breaking stable releases. If they would simply
bump the soname of all the sub-libs of ffmpeg in one go, this problem
would not be as big as it is.
