I don't know your use case but I wonder if a faster 
preset with a higher frame rate wouldn't be more 
useful.

(I haven't used ffm for a long time but are you sure 
that -f h286 feed.ffm works? Maybe you meant -f h264 
feed.h264? Which makes the -f h264 superfluous.)

As said --enable-ffplay has no effect (and it does not 
tell you if it didn't work), so please remove it.

I don't think you want to use --enable-avresample.

You wrote in an earlier email:

Do you mean the output is bitexact with and without 
the --cpu option? Or that you did some performance 
tests and couldn't reproduce a difference?
It cannot make a difference for the usecase above 
(that only depends on libx264 compilation / speed) 
but generally, I thought the --cpu option is useful 
for arm.
