Comment 9 for bug 1004174

Dear Reinhard,

With all my respect for you as someone who offers his valuable time for packaging libav , and i really have to thank you for that, I definitely do not agree with your point of view, I have very strong arguments against it but it seems to me that it would be proper to discuss that somewhere else (to prevent sidetracking of the original bug here).

I propose further debate would be more appropriate in Bug #1005536 which seems 100% targeted to the controversial "ffmpeg-is-not-developed-anymore" text and it's unforseen consequences.

The original bug in this bugreport was about: ffmpeg/avconv missing (audio)subchannelmapping

Meanwhile, I took de bug upstream myself and there was a fairly quick response from a developer

So...are we going to see the fix soon in an update or do we have to wait until we can backport it from Quantal Quetzal ?
