Well, I think by now everybody knows what I think of the splitting of
the libraries (we should move towards a single libffmpeg.so, anything
else makes our work more complicated for no practical benefit that could
be achieved another simpler way).

But I would like to add:

This is a tricky technical discussion. Arguing it properly requires time
to state things clearly and to gather arguments. A developer meeting in
real-time chat is absolutely not the place for it. It can be the place
to finish the discussion if necessary, but not the place to lead the
bulk of it.

In fact, nothing should be on a developers meeting agenda that has not
already been extensively discussed on the list.

Regards,
