If you find the development methodology for this "little project" so 
difficult to work with, then don't use it.

I have been involved in ffmpeg for two or so years. I can work with 
their development method. If you cannot, then you need to move on and 
find another library that fits your personal development style. Many 
more people have invested time and effort in ffmpeg, and they don't have 
a problem with the development method.

I might suggest using xine lib for your project.
