Yes, I've seen the patch in #807853, and a couple of review requests on
KDE's reviewboard.

Let me take this opportunity to "reverse the issue": is your upstream
aware that the continuous API breaks in each new stable series only
waste time on the users' side? Just look at the affected code in k3b,
plugins/decoder/ffmpeg/k3bffmpegwrapper.cpp: many defines and ifdef's,
just to make the very same code do the very same job, nothing less and
nothing more.

Sure, if I don't get around to test your patch or to integrate eventual
upstream fixes the plugin will need to be disabled, but honestly I don't
see how this would be in favour of our users.
