[FFmpeg-devel] RFC: opinions on making fftools work like a library

[Zhao Zhili]

I'd like to know what do you think about making fftools work like a
library, like what ffmpeg-kit already did, but with built-in support.

https://github.com/arthenica/ffmpeg-kit

   FFmpegKit is a collection of tools to use FFmpeg in Android, iOS,
   Linux, macOS, tvOS, Flutter and React Native applications.

   It includes scripts to build FFmpeg native libraries, a wrapper
   library to run FFmpeg/FFprobe commands in applications and 8
   prebuilt binary packages available at Github, Maven Central,
   CocoaPods, pub and npm.

Pro:
1. It can be used for testing on mobile devices.
2. It can be used directly to do useful work.
3. It can combine some work from projects like ffmpeg-kit to extend the
funtion.

Cons:
1. It makes things complicated.
2. It's hard to support mobile devices.

Welcome to comments. I want to know is it:

a. Absolutely no! It's not fftools supported to do.
b. Doesn't matter/Don't care.
c. I like the idea, (but...)
