+Subject: [PATCH] encoder: libav: fix build with ffmpeg 7.0
+
+Adjust the version check according to ffmpeg docs:
+
+https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/src/tag/n9.0.2/doc/APIchanges#L446
+"2024-09-08 - 3305767560a - lavc 61.13.100 - avcodec.h
+  Add avcodec_get_supported_config() and enum AVCodecConfig; deprecate
+  AVCodec.pix_fmts, AVCodec.sample_fmts, AVCodec.supported_framerates,
+  AVCodec.supported_samplerates and AVCodec.ch_layouts."
+
+Upstream: not applicable, support for older ffmpeg versions was removed:
