Yep I did test it. On stable there is nothing broken and right now
even mplayer1 compiles fine.

On testing there should be nothing broken apart from xbmc, where
Alexis is one of upstream devs and he seems not to give fuck about
making it work under both.

Also Samuli broke it yesterday because he seems not to be bothered
about fixing reverse dependencies with cdio update (but again it seems
simple to test and fix which will be done when I am not working and
have time to test it properly).

So yes it works and should not pose any issues to user. I also
announced it over blog to get people report more issues they find out
so I can be really sure it works out. It turned out the mplayer1
really needs to work under both, which I patched yesterday for stable
libav and Luca today for masked libav to work.

So overall we are in green numbers if few people didn't break it on
purpose or just for the ignorance.

The only weird stuff might be for migrating users that they have to
use "emerge -C ffmpeg && emerge -1v libav libpostproc" as a postproc
is not yet split out of ffmpeg. But even that could be discussed and
we can switch to split libpostproc under both libs to have matching
deps (even ffmpeg has --disable-postrpoc switch :)).
