Is it possible to use libav directly through gst-libav ?

If you need to share the same libav from GStreamer and your application
(e.g. to save space), I would recommend building libav as a shared
library. Then, change the libav recipe (or similar in your own build
system), to link against that external libav shared library (use
configure option --with-system-libav). It is recommended to pick the
same revision of libav as we do in GStreamer though. If you do so, it
is save to ignore the printed warning when enabling system-libav.
