It's not only a library, but also a set of command-line tools (the ffmpeg
binary package).

With these command-line tools one can check the libraries. (That's how
a large part of the upstream test-suite works.)

For example, one can verify that bugs in Libav don't exist in FFmpeg,
e.g. #783616 [1].

Best regards,
Andreas
