I have no problem with making that breakage land the "testing" tree... but having bugs like this in stable doesn't make me think libav is a good default (at least for now): https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474408 Regarding the "gstreamer preference", well, it's not exactly that: upstream supports either the internal libav lib, one concrete libav version and one concrete ffmpeg version per cycle. Once we patch it to support more libav/ffmpeg versions we are on our own (like it's the case now as, for example, you would need to run the development upstream version for libav-11, 1.4.x version for libav-10 and 1.2.x version for libav-9).
