What's needed:

is custom options for encoders/decoders/muxers/demuxers which are only 
needed for one element.

The idea of using AVCodecContext/AVFormatContext doesn't please some 
devs it seems (including Justin, Alex, and me).

Of course global values used by all must be put in the global context.

I think _devs_ would like to be able to have custom options not fitting 
everywhere else without poluting global context. This would also permit 
to have x264 and lame mapped commandlines options.

Can this request be considered ?
