Blender (my main package involved in libav/ffmpeg fight) has been
adapted by kind upstream developers in BF to work just fine with libav,
while they're mainly supporting ffmpeg as primary A/V tool.

At this point, the switch to ffmpeg could help avoiding all the trouble
in porting the upstream changes to allow the build on libav-based
systems.

So, while I was happy with libav for its stability, I could appreciate
spending less efforts in getting things work and use the saved energy to
improve the packaging, hopefully.

Just my two cents on the topic.

Cheers.
