Sorry for the break. I tried to build vlc before pushing, it built fine, and
then I imagined that it hadn't relevant API changes. And I had seen in the
ffmpeg website that they strongly recommend everyone to update, so I decided to
go ahead.

I'm fine with the multiple attributes like proposed by Vladimír.
