Libav is supposed to be a drop-in replacement of FFmpeg.
However, it isn't.
For example, many software uses libswresample, it is simply missing in Libav.

BTW, the mindset of Libav is annoying at best.

So I hope that Ubuntu can switch back to ffmpeg; let more software build.
Debian's political preference, e.g., Iceweasel, shouldn't affect a lot of Ubuntu users out there. |
