hmm. maybe I don't understand yet how it all works...
When I install the official gmerlin repo, it overwrites libgavl in
/usr/lib with a version that is older than that which came from
installing the pd-readanysf package from the puredyne ppa's.
I also noticed that whoever did the "official" package for ubuntu made
it without gmerlin_encode. This basically makes the package useless.
This all seems odd. I would think there would be 4 packages:
libgavl -> provides base library for audio video frames
libgmerlin_avdec - provides libs for decoding av
gmerlin_encode -> provides plugins to gmerlin for encoding
gmerlin -> provides a framework for building gui apps, also includes
many handy applications such as gmerlin_transcoder

It would be nice (maybe even crucial) to have all the gmerlin packages
in sync -> packaged by the same method, at the same time.

the gmerlin package has some of the nicest (and easiest) transcoding
software I have yet used. I use it a lot. But, the official package
is broken as far as I can see, since it doesn't include any of the
encode plugins. It also has a very handy ogg/vorbis/theora streaming
app that seems to be missing from the official package.
