I suggest we invite the maintainers of MLT, GStreamer, Phonon and Xine 
to write briefly what has changed in those frameworks since release of 
Wheezy.  They are not in the Debian Multimedia Maintainers team (or at 
least I don't think so) but changes there greatly affect multimedia for 
our users, and I can only see such invitation as a friendly vibe :-)


Would be great with a section on progress in ways to fetch online videos 
- i.e. youtube-dl, quvi and clive → cclive.  Again I think that's mostly 
outside of our team but used in e.g. mpv.  I guess VLC also has such 
features embedded.


I see an entry about x264 having entered Debian.  Probably relevant to 
mention also VP9, de265 and Opus codecs (and Celt codec been dropped?).
