Uh, I hate to state the patently obvious, but if "no path forward is needed", 
then there should logically be _no_ "details to walk [a] path". Conversely, if 
avradio does not belong in FFmpeg, as Kieran, Tomas and others have been 
arguing, then there is no path forward to be given on FFmpeg-devel.


And besides I don't think it's even fair to state that "too few details" were 
given. People did suggest making this a new separate project properly isolated 
from FFmpeg internals, and/or joining efforts with existing OSS SDR projects 
rather than FFmpeg. Some specific projects have even been cited.

As far as FFmpeg(-devel) is concerned, I can't think how it could/should 
reasonably get any more specific than that.
