Bug#763736: Consider adding mpv-ffmpeg using ffmpeg instead of libav

[Milan Straka]

Package: mpv
Version: 0.6.0-1
Severity: wishlist

Now that ffmpeg is in experimental (via #729203), would you consider
creating a mpv-ffmpeg package, which would be identical to mpv, but
instead of linking libav would link ffmpeg?

According to mpv documentation, FFmpeg is preferred over Libav
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/FFmpeg-versus-Libav .

I understand that the new package would probably remain in experimental.

I would suggest to link ffmpeg statically (the mpv build scripts can do
this) because then it would be easy to pin it from experimental. Also
while ffmpeg stays in experimental, little people have ffmpeg itself
installed, so there would probably be no/little space waste.

But if you prefer to create dynamically linked version, I will also be
very happy.

Cheers,
