This is a completely incorrect and poorly thought through statement.
AM/FM are a microscopically small subset of SDR.
SDR is a massively complex field, bigger than multimedia itself. There
are permutations and complexity in things like DAB/DVB etc much more
complex than anything the FFmpeg API can handle (e.g physical layer
pipes).

To draw the conclusion that all SDR is now fine in FFmpeg beacause in
your mind AM/FM did not require a large number of changes to FFmpeg is
incorrect to say the least.
