Actually, I don't think it will work either way, since ffmpeg/libav
are demoted to universe from main in 14.04, and there currently aren't
resources needed to support ffmpeg/libav security-wise if used widely
by default. The supported scope of ffmpeg/libav in currently stable
releases is quite limited. Due to special updates procedures for
firefox however, it may be possible to use embedded copy which would
be holistically pushed via updates to all supported releases, but that
should go through security review to make sure attack vectors are
limited and ffmpeg/libav is properly contained/sandboxed.
