Build fails because of missing ”av_register_all" function

[mundschenk-at]

Apparently the previously deprecated symbol av_register_all has been removed upstream, so the build now fails:

The libavformat function av_register_all was removed in ffmpeg 5.0.

The patch in PR https://github.com/Moonbase59/loudgain/pull/50 will help.

You can also just remove the following lines from src/scan.c since you're linking against libraries provided by ffmpeg 5.0.

   if (avformat_version() < AV_VERSION_INT(58,9,100))
     av_register_all();

Thank you, I'll see if I can fit that into the Homebrew workflow.

As a workaround, I forked the tap repo and changed the ffmpeg dependency to ffmpeg@4 (see here). One can now install loudgain using brew install marvin-klein/tap/loudgain.

Please add this to the repo. I can confirm that this builds a binary if these 2 lines in scan.c are removed.
