cmus 2.4.3 on FreeBSD

[Gregory Petrosyan]

Thanks a lot for the report!

I'm forwarding this to cmus-devel mailing list, please use the ML directly in case you'll encounter any cmus-related problems in the future.

ffmpeg version hell makes me even think that we should just default to [n] for it in ./configure! What do you think?

FreeBSD uses ffmpeg-0.7.8
Is there a better fix?

Same error here on Gentoo Linux. What file formats is ffmpeg
responsible for in cmus?

None of the major ones, actually — only .wma is not handled by other plugins
(in a much better way).

FreeBSD uses ffmpeg-0.7.8

According to the APIchanges document in the ffmpeg source tree, AVMetadata was deprecated (and AVDict* were introduced) in lavu-51.8.0, and 0.7.8 should ship with lavu-50.43.0.

ffmpeg development is completely mad indeed. Since the only major format that is not supported by any other plugin is WMA, I think it is better to disable ffmpeg plugin by default, instead of constantly fighting with their broken incompatible releases.
