I saw that gstreamer1 and correspondent plugins had been updated, so I
did a 'make update' on all the affected packages. After doing that,
anytime the gst-plugins1-libav was activated, Firefox crashed and an
error was output as in this message:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2014/08/11/msg020209.html

But at this point I think it had nothing to do with ffmpeg, although a
similar thread on the ffmpeg-devel mailing lists suggested otherwise:
https://www.mail-archive.com/ffmpeg-devel%ffmpeg.org@localhost/msg00520.html

Would you like me to fill a BR for that occurrence?
