>Description:
As I can see, gstreamer-ffmpeg uses libav-0.7.7.
1. 0.7 is a very old, it was released on 2013-02-02.
2. There is no standard way to configure bundled libav.
2. We have a new ffmpeg in ports.

So I don't see any reasons to use some piece of sh^Wsoftware like libav. Please switch multimedia/gstreamer-ffmpeg to multimedia/ffmpeg backend.
