Ah, right, I missed that. Sorry. Direct svt-hevc isn't even upstreamed
in ffmpeg yet, the patch is still in review, pending integration.

OTOH, if you already have libx265 built with svt-hevc, perhaps there's
a good reason to use it that way.

OTOH, your linked docs say this about libx265:

  Params assigned outside of x265_param_parse() API wont’t [sic] be
  mapped to SVT-HEVC.

And since I don't see ffmpeg using x265_param_parse(), this probably
won't work. But I may be wrong. I'm sure that instructions/docs would
be appreciated, assuming this works.
