patches for libavcodec must go to the ffmpeg list. If you use cvs, the
way to get a patch is doing "cvs -z6 diff -u" in the libavcodec dir (or
if you have ffmpeg CVS, from the ffmpeg directory). That will output the
patch stdout, so you will have to redirect it of course if you want to
have it in a file ;-).
