How are these removed codecs handled in the library?
ffmpeg is a monolithic library.
Can we link an upstream application against FFMPEG in Fedora now and have it gracefully fail when it tries to access a non-free codec that was removed, or does the removal of these codecs create a different API that upstream applications would have to code around?
Applications need to use a special API to check if the codec is
available before attempting to use it. Otherwise, the application will
instantly crash.
2) Is there an easily accessible list of the enabled codecs we can point upstreams to when talking about this?
Most upstream developers don't want to deal with such situations: "Use
our binary/snap/flatpak. It works fine".
