Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Audacity and bring up the preferences dialog (menubar > Edit >
Preferences...)
2. Go to Libraries and look up "FFmpeg Import/Export Library", you will find
the following message: "FFmpeg Library Version: FFmpeg support not complied in"
What was expected:
That FFmpeg support was compiled in and/or one could choose which program to
use with the locate button.
Background:
The ffmpeg package has been removed from the repositories in 14.04, which might
have lead to this change. However, ffmpeg has only been a transitional package
in prior releases since the libav project (a ffmpeg fork) was announced (an
integrated in Ubuntu).
I repeat: The is no reason to strip this feature from Audacity by not
compiling it with ffmpeg support, just because a transitional(!) package
was finally removed.
Hint: The equivalent of the ffmpeg binary is named avconv.
What needs to be done:
Patch reenable FFmpeg support and patch Audacity to use libav.
