one of the core reasons i have used both libquicktime and
gmerlin-avdecoder as upstream has been that i *never ever* want to touch
anything with an API as volatile as ffmpeg/libav.

maybe the API of libav/ffmpeg has become more stable over the last
years. maybe not. frankly i don't care, as
libquicktime/gmerlin-avdecoder has allowed me to not care, and i think
this a feature i would hate to miss.
