Supporting shared libraries with not exactly equal version basically
means using FFmpeg functionality through the official API. You mean
you're not willing to do that? Do you want to use "undocumented" ways to
access things even when an official one exists? Or think there will be
things that cannot be done through the official API which you want to
use for important functionality anyway (without adding them to the API)?
