There are already quite a few forks, some with varying degrees of patches,
up on Github/Bitbucket/etc. Since none of these have been touched, it's
possible Adobe has backed off. I've created my own fork and will start
integrating patches. If anyone has any pending patches, I'll gladly review
them, or you can open a pull request at
https://github.com/thatguystone/rtmpdump. This is a personal repo for now
just to test the waters and keep things from affecting the project as a
whole.

hyc: Thanks for highlighting some of rtmpdump's history. I was unaware of
this, and I certainly don't want to start causing trouble for the project.
