+Subject: [PATCH] CMakeLists.txt: allow building without ffmpeg support
+
+The ffmpeg support is optional, but is automatically pulled in (if
+available) on ARM with SIMD, even when WITH_AVFFT is disabled.
+
+Instead, ensure WITH_AVFFT does its job, which is to allow disabling
+ffmpeg usage if not desired.
