ffmpeg hasn't had an official release for ages, and the interface has
changed several times since then. Therefore, dvbcut uses a frozen copy.
Some people on this list also run dvbcut with the latest ffmpeg version,
but that's unsupported as far as dvbcut is concerned.

You'll have to ask Sven for that.

Official releases in regular intervals, and proper documentation of the
API (including all pitfalls) and, in particular, all API changes.

This should have been fixed by now, by defining __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS.
