I thought the help text explained that: gst-ffmpeg disables certain
codecs, like MP3, Vorbis, Theora, etc. IOW. It has political baggage
from GStreamer developers; they don't want people to use FFmpeg, they
want people to use native elements: vorbisdec, theoradec, maddec, etc.

And gst-av works for both libav, and FFmpeg. Obviously, I wrote it for
libav, but FFmpeg is simply an old version of the same API.

Cheers.
