Comment 10 for bug 1004174

That's very unlikely:

09:51 <siretart> do you think that af_channelsplit is something that we should backport to 0.8?
09:52 <elenril> no
09:52 <elenril> there is no audio filtering support in 0.8 at all
09:52 <elenril> so i'd have to backport it all
09:53 <elenril> that's a huge thing
09:53 <elenril> and avconv changes too
09:53 <elenril> which depend on complex filtergraphs....
09:53 <elenril> so we end up backporting half of current git master

Quantal will also ship libav 0.8, so won't have this either. 0.9 will have it, and we are working on a beta. if you need updated packages for your applications, please have a look at https://launchpad.net/~motumedia/+archive/libav-daily. If you do not need to link your application against an af_channelsplit filter enabled libavfilter.so, I'd suggest to compile from git HEAD without shared libraries.
