How about the fact that libyami reinvented the wheel long after ffmpeg?
Look at all those codec parsers they have.

There are many things that seem to stink about this lib. Having a C++
API is my least favorite one.

So I guess I can say that in my opinion, the ffmpeg native support
should be improved, instead of duplicating functionality all over the
place.
