  We will *recommend* using libav, and that is what we will be using in
our recommended local checkout (i.e. if you don't use the system
installed ones).

  The reasons why we recommend going with libav are many, but comes down
to them caring way more about downstream users than any alternative.
  You're welcome to make gst-ffmpeg work with alternatives (like the
original ffmpeg), and if it doesn't interfere with the libav versions we
could accept patches also. But we will only provide support and code
that works with libav.

  No.

  Hope this clarifies the situation.
