avbin was takedn over by a new developer and hosted here:
http://avbin.github.io/AVbin/Home/Home.html
Unfortunately, I've never got those updated versions working on mac or
windows (or maybe they just aren't compatible with pyglet? Not sure).
Here is the last discussion I had with the new developer about it:
https://github.com/AVbin/AVbin/issues/41#issuecomment-10700404
But maybe on linux they're fine?

Hi guys,
Thanks for checking out...
$> strace -f python -c 'from pyglet.media import avbin' 2>&1 | grep libavbin
[pid 19888] open("/usr/lib/libavbin.so.0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 8
so it is not per se the psychopy which depends on avbin but pyglet (I guess
just misses the needed recommends or suggests)
Jon (psychopy upstream, CCed) -- am I seeing it right that
we do need avbin for Movie stimuli without any alternative currently?

Hi,
I'm wondering if this package is still actively maintained? I cannot> > help
but noticing that the debian avbin package lacks several upstream
versions behind, and has seen its latest maintainer upload almost 5
years ago.
If the current maintainers think it would be best to let this package
go, then I'd suggest to reassign this bug against ftp.debian.org and
ask for its removal. Otherwise, I'd suggest to close this bug by
uploading a new upstream version (and consider orphaning this
package).
In any case, I'd suggest to remove avbin from testing for the time
being to not hold up the libav10 transition further, which is file I
file this bug with severity "serious".
Note that psychopy is the only reverse dependency of avbin:
% dak rm -Rn avbin
Will remove the following packages from unstable:
avbin | 7-1.4 | source
libavbin-dev | 7-1.4 | amd64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386,
kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390x, sparc
libavbin0 | 7-1.4 | amd64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, kfreebsd-amd64,
kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390x, sparc
Maintainer: Andrew Straw<straw...@astraw.com>
------------------- Reason -------------------

Checking reverse dependencies...
# Broken Build-Depends:
psychopy: libavbin0
Dependency problem found.
CCing the psychopy maintainers for their input. If psychopy could drop
the build dependency on avbin, I think there is no reason to keep avbin
in Debian any longer.
