Converting music or Streaming vedios..
I'm not sure what you are trying to do with FFmpeg, if your goal is to
create something on top of FFmpeg on android, you should take a look at
these articles too,
http://blog.pkh.me/p/13-the-ffmpeg-libav-situation.html
http://codecs.multimedia.cx/?p=339
In short, there was a Coup-like-thing happened to FFmpeg project that
didn't go well and the result is a fork-sort-of-thing called Libav.
Debian switched to Libav as well as it's child Ubuntu, Gentoo switched
to Libav as well as it's child Sabayon. I'm not sure the status of
Fedora (anyone who use fedora can say whether they have Libav by
locating avprobe/avconv/avplay binaries)
So, its basically, you have to make a decision whether to use FFmpeg or
Libav. As of now, both projects share code they write, but the way they
write is different from each other. As a end user we don't have to care
as long as ffmpeg/avconv have ABI/API compatibility. But in future, they
may not.
