Description (last modified by dbevans (David B. Evans))

Per discussion lead by Jean-Michel Pouré on macports-devel http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2009-January/007102.html the attached patch sets default_variants to include all available optional codecs on the grounds that the spirit of the distribution is to provide support for conversion between as many different encodings as possible. In addition, by limiting the default selection of codecs in ffmpeg, the functionality of ports that depend upon ffmpeg (sox, kdenlive, gstreamer, etc) are correspondingly reduced as well.

This includes

+a52 +extvorbis +faac +faad +lame +theora +x264 +xvid

The following variants remain optional by default

+avfilter (experimental)
+gpl (automatically included as necessary)
+mmx (experimental/buggy)
+postproc (experimental)

The revision is incremented to reflect the change in port functionality (for the better, IMHO)
