Lars,

Should these be patched to refer to our ffmpeg?

https://github.com/kkroening/ffmpeg-python/blob/df129c7ba30aaa9ffffb81a48f53aa7253b0b4e6/ffmpeg/_run.py#L302

And a call to subprocess.check_call in the tests:

https://github.com/kkroening/ffmpeg-python/blob/df129c7ba30aaa9ffffb81a48f53aa7253b0b4e6/ffmpeg/tests/test_ffmpeg.py#L29

WDYT if we document our policy for patching executables. Currently, this practice is tribal knowledge that Guixers receive during patch review but we don't have it officially in writing anywhere (e.g. manual, cookbook, etc)

Ludo WDYT

all best,

jgart
