I think this could be a very interesting project, but maybe also very hard.
I myself do not have the skills or knowledge to help in any way in that
area.

I think a few fingerprinting algorithms of the kind exist. Implementing them
with ffmpeg's DSP infrastructure would probably be easier than designing one
from scratch.

OTOH, there is one use that I have in mind that may not be covered by
existing algorithms: fingerprinting a short segment of audio to search for
it efficiently and accurately in a larger footage without access to the
original segment, and even if it was subjected to a different lossy codec or
even small changes in pitch or speed. To be honest, I do not know if it is
even possible, but it would be very useful.
