I've strictly no question about how not to make conflict between
theses, so I'm not even looking at your spec since I don't think they
will bring any value to the "discution".
Please have a look at ffmpeg-compat for not conflicting with -devel
Also please have a look this for not conflicting with ffmpeg version
of the same ABI:
http://rpms.kwizart.net/fedora/16/SRPMS/ffmpeg4vlc-0.6-0.4.20100612svn.fc13.src.rpm
Here are the ABI from ffmpeg upstream: http://ffmpeg.org/download.html#releases

My point is to have EL7 built with ffmpeg28 by default and eventually
provide an alternative and newer ffmpeg for the binaries.
