    avcodec: Remove libstagefright · 72673ad7
    Derek Buitenhuis authored
    It serves absolutely no purpose other than to confuse potentional
    Android developers about how to use hardware acceleration properly
    on the the platform. The stagefright "API" is not public, and the
    MediaCodec API is the proper way to do this.
    
    Furthermore, stagefright support in avcodec needs a series of
    magic incantations and version-specific stuff, such that
    using it actually provides downsides compared just using the actual
    Android frameworks properly, in that it is a lot more work and confusion
    to get it even running. It also leads to a lot of misinformation, like
    these sorts of comments (in [1]) that are absolutely incorrect.
