Hello Wolf,

The situation as I understand it is that Libav is not showing the same 
standard as FFmpeg. You can see the following threads for some 
clarifications:

   - See 
   https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/07/msg00001.html
   - See https://wiki.debian.org/Debate/libav-provider/ffmpeg
   - See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libav#Fork_from_FFmpeg

AVbin is a thin wrapper which provided an ABI for Libav. Many issues with 
the media library could be traced back to the fact that pyglet used Libav.

So Claudio and I tried to re-write part of the media library to use FFmpeg 
instead. We used ctypes to wrap the minimum required C functions and 
structures to have a viable solution.

This is still a work in progress. The use of FFmpeg is only from pyglet 
version 1.4.0a1 (alpha version). The current stable version is 1.3.2. I 
must confess that I lost some momentum those last 6 months due to a nagging 
bug on Linux with PulseAudio and this is not my normal development OS. Also 
I got busy with other stuff professionally.

I don't know what the maintainers will decide for the future of Pyglet. But 
I still believe that polishing the support for FFmpeg would be a good 
decision.

I hope this answers your question.

Daniel
