Thanks for the information!

You're welcome. :)

I had already put some effort in porting
karlyriceditor to Libav (compilation problems, crashes,...), finally it
worked fine with the previous version of Libav, but broke with the
update of Libav. I didn't know that FFmpeg was going to come back to
Debian, I understood from the announcements that it was too difficult to
have both Libav and FFmpeg in Debian.

It may seem like that, since they both provide libraries with identical names. But in the end, its as easy as adding '-ffmpeg' to the FFmpeg library names, while not changing the pkg-config file names.
That way projects can use pkg-config to determine the correct library names.
As karlyriceditor uses pkg-config to determine the FFmpeg linker flags, it works just out of the box.

For now I just patched my package
up a little more for the current compilation problems with Libav10.
Whenever FFmpeg is back, we can drop those patches and use FFmpeg.

FFmpeg will be back as soon as the ftp-masters find the time to accept it into the archive.

Best regards,
Andreas
