Bug#907032: Please compile against libaom

[Wouter Verhelst]

Package: src:ffmpeg
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

According to the ffmpeg website[1], ffmpeg 4.0 and above has support for
the AV1 codec, through the libaom[2] library.

[1] https://www.ffmpeg.org/index.html#news
[2] https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom/

AV1 is the product of the "Alliance for Open Media", and is the
next-generation video codec that is slated to replace VP9 in WebM.

libaom has not been packaged yet, however. Should an RFP be filed?
