I don't think you understand the development model of FFmpeg.

Don't complain. Contribute. People don't want 987654321 libraries
installed on their system, each reinventing common functions and
causing them to have to buy 2x the same amount of memory to get half
the performance.

People have cellphones, and they want these to play RTMP. We can help
them. You can help us help them. libXYZ is not the solution,
generally.
