My call is "talk with upstream, get the patches reviewed/commited, and

i thought there was an RDEP, but it's only hidden in the pkg-readme,
dont remember the details:

HTML5 audio/video support

For a full multimedia experience, such as playing MP3 audio or MPEG

# pkg_add ffmpeg

if it has to be something, it's an RDEP.
