  As a side note, I am (and will be) spending some time making sure the
gst-ffmpeg wrapper code for (de)muxers improves. The ffmpeg team have
actually put in a lot of effort over the past 6-12 months to make
libavformat friendler to use and we can already see the benefits (like
push-based support for demuxers working properly).

  That does not go against the recommendation below to use 'native'
gstreamer (de)muxers whenever available, but improving the current
gst-ffmpeg situation will be mutually beneficial to both GStreamer and
FFmpeg.

P.S. Oh, did you know FFmpeg are going to do a release (scheduled for
around the 21st of Feb) ? I kid you not !
