I also agree that this shouldn't be made the default. You don't have the same
constraints as us, because:
* there is only one copy of ffmpeg in the whole GNOME source tree;
* you have to deal with many distributors which all use different ffmpeg
versions.

It is not necessary that you change the codec maps either. If it is possible in
your release to build gst-ffmpeg using an external source, then we'll deal with
a small patch of the like or some adaptation of our own ffmpeg packages (which
have e.g. their own ABI versioning scheme). The point of this request is to
have a point of entry which makes building against the system ffmpeg
straightforward.
