Even though I was initially puzzled when this idea was announced, I think it's not such a bad approach. Having two separated libraries to handle two conceptually identical functions is redundant and error prone, maintenance hassle and source of ABI/API fun times. Moreover the overall code change is minimal and the increased size of the unified library is only 50k so it's not a big deal. So I would be ok with this change. WRT the patch itself, don't you have to bump avformat version too?
