Why is the patch not submitted upstream? I can agree on keeping ffmpeg internal
temporarily as long as you work with upstream to achieve full functionality
with external ffmpeg, too.

What does it need the setuid bit for? Device access? If so, then you can add an
udev rule to allow the currently logged in user access the device without
needing root.
