faad2 and faac

[Julian Cable]

I think in both these cases it would be better with one library that supported both feature sets. In the case of faac/faad2 this was the intent but the DRM code broke the normal code and there is no development resource to recombine them. The DRM version is only used by a few applications that can be coded to use a library with a different name. There are more applications that use x264. I think the discussion could be had with them. 

The other big use of LD_LIBRARY_PATH I'm aware of is the socksify command which overrides the networking shared library. It doesn't set the path and get out of the way, it's used as a prefix to every command. So for x264 you might say:

10bit vlc
