I have experimented with the new --enable-rpath configure option of
FFmpeg, and found that it is even possible to install shared libraries
alongside Libav, without interrupting Libav headers, programs, or
libraries. See my gist: https://gist.github.com/TimothyGu/8533059
I have also tried to build http://mpv.io/ with ffmpeg instead of
libav, and I received success in doing tthat as well. Build script is
in the gist as well.
