An increasing number of ports need ffmpeg's libavcodec. This increase is
welcome and should be encouraged over the usage of bundled versions of
libavcodec.

However, ffmpeg itself depends (optionally) on some of these ports, which
creates CIRCULAR dependencies.

We should create a separate multimedia/libavcodec with all of those -- such as
libsoxr and chromaprint, and the rest of ffmpeg -- depending on it.
