I did, "mpv" just slipped through my eyes since I haven't heard of
it before.

And my impression with ffmpeg and libav is, in fact, that most
users prefer ffmpeg over libav, sorry. I never understood why
ffmpeg was replaced in the first place without asking what people
actually wanted.

There is even an RFP for ffmpeg at the moment [1]. I'm aware of
the amount of flames I am going to get for my opinion, but I think
we should package what people actually use and not what the result
of some upstream infightings were.
