So, I do partially agree. I guess the sour reality is, though: is anyone on this mailinglist interested in and capable of writing e.g. a native vaapi jpeg decoder (or h264 encoder, or ...)? FFmpeg sometimes does suffer from feature creep which doesn't help the overall project's health or code quality (hi libmpcodecs!).
