There is no reason why any program have to use internal ffmpeg version in the
long term. This is view as a disease by many maintainers of packages (and
upstream ffmpeg).
Instead, periodically controlling which ffmpeg snapshot and configure options
are sane for cinelerra, seems a better way of doing things. I would propose to
build ffmpeg with suffix (like what is done with libmpeg3) and link cinelerra
with this special suffixed SONAME.
But building a static version of it isn't a sane solution. At least it prevent
you from receiving useful information when users do own compilation that is
failing with the wrong ffmpeg configure option.
You could have --external-ffmpeg to be the default option and trying to link to
the system ffmpeg, then configure can check well knowns incompatibilities
(swscaler for example) and fail suggesting to built a special suffixed ffmpeg
snapshot (with the appropriate configure options).
But the ffmpeg snapshot should be moved from another place, and not provided by
default anymore.
Of course, this is *only* a better workaround, a real fix is expected (more
than 1 year old now). But indeed, many softwares also have different release
cycle.
