Thanks for the very detailed and clear explanation (and thanks for
your work on Theora), but I'm not sure I understand why this is a hard
dependency. I see why I'd definitely want this on my system, but since
mplayer can be used to watch video that doesn't use this codec,
shouldn't it be a mere 'recommends'?
It's a dependency because the choice to include H.264 support is done
a compile-time (if there is such a choice). The library is linked to
the application at build time, and the program won't even run without
the .so file.
