I haven't looked at any code, but given that it's a major version bump of a library, the changes probably involve API-breaks. Backporting them upstream or downstream is probably not a simple matter, and probably a bad idea. >> >> C.

Yes, masking the system-ffmpeg USE flag would cause the bundled ffmpeg code to be used. The Chromium project applies security fixes quite regularly, so don't get too worried over it.
