I will investigate, despite I was asking for another mantainer,
updating to a newer version will fix thing easily i guess.

I have tested it. patch attached is some bug report
Anyway,  the current version doesn't work.(even in stable release), so
i'm asking commit right to co-maitain this package along with D.Juran.
I will update rawhide to pre 1.1.0 as rc4 is known to work with newer
ffmpeg/x264, and is expected to be stable anytime soon.

For gpac, there is an ABI break, it would be nicer to rebuild x264 for
it (as x264 only use gpac-libs on devel and F-10 x86, not F-9 x86_64).
