It may seem like that, since they both provide libraries with identical 
names. But in the end, its as easy as adding '-ffmpeg' to the FFmpeg 
library names, while not changing the pkg-config file names.
That way projects can use pkg-config to determine the correct library names.
As karlyriceditor uses pkg-config to determine the FFmpeg linker flags, 
it works just out of the box.

FFmpeg will be back as soon as the ftp-masters find the time to accept 
it into the archive.

Best regards,
Andreas
