  Description     : a thin wrapper around FFmpeg

AVbin provides binary compatibility for FFmpeg to applications and
languages that need it. FFmpeg is a collection of audio and video
codecs widely used in projects such as mplayer, xine, gstreamer and
VLC. It is under continuous development; so much so that its
developers rarely provide a release, and SVN snapshots of the library
must be statically linked to avoid version incompatibilities. AVbin is
distributed as a single dynamic library that depends on no other files
or installations.

Preliminary packaging it being done using git-buildpackage. The Debian
packaging efforts can be downloaded from
