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?
