The embedded FFmpeg in avidemux is only patched to convert UNIX line endings to DOS line endings to match rest of the avidemux source tree There should be a script in the repository and/or the tarball to convert orig. FFmpeg source tree to this. Even if that wasn't the case, separate package doesn't make sense, USE="+system-libs" might
