Ping for the series.
I realize that there are some unfinished discussions. In my
understanding, the proposal to lock avdevice and avformat together at
the minor version level (see thread kicked off by this message:
http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2021-June/281513.html), which
has not seen detractors, resolves the issues that came up earlier
about how to go forward with avdevice, correct? That would clear the
way for re-introducing the (useful!) avdevice capabilities api, which
i guess is the most contentious part of this patch set. Curious to
hear of course if there is anything else blocking it!

Let me know if there is anything i can facilitate, or alternatively,
if this requires discussion in some meeting the project will have, do
you have an idea when that meeting would be?

Thanks and all the best,
Dee
