Yes I choose to do that to ease/speed integration, that is I wanted to
avoid to discuss all the SF ffprobe features, many of which need a
complex implementation.

My plan is to integrate all the features currently implemented in
SF/ffprobe, possibly better and in a cleaner way, so this will require
some time and maybe some hacking on FFmpeg the libs.

Once this will happen I'll drop the SF version.

In the meaningwhile you're encouraged to add feature requests to
roundup or to propose patches here.
