Hi ffmpeg-dev,
I've finished item 3 so now I'm able to build ffmpeg libs
with the AOSP 4.3 tree. I've succeeded to build different
archs including x86, mips, armv7-a and armv7-a-neon.

http://git.android-x86.org/?p=platform/external/ffmpeg.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/jb-x86

Is it possible to merge it in the ffmpeg upstream?


About the stagefright-plugins, I've also succeeded to
update it to build with android 4.3.
With some hacks to frameworks/av,
now I'm able to load the ffmpeg plugins and
play full hd video by the built-in Gallery2 and Youtube.
But the performance is not so good as expected.
If anyone has experience to tune the android multimedia
framework, please give me a hand.
Anyway, will publish it once I clean it up.
