Upstream uses non-standard OS/arch names (x64, ia32, win32, arm) and ships both bare binaries and .gz-compressed copies. classifyFFmpegDist maps those to canonical names and keeps only bare binaries. Also adds source-override logic to installerconf so that github_releases + source = ffmpegdist works: GitHub is used for fetching while the custom classifier handles classification.

Cheat Sheet
FFmpeg is useful for converting between various audio, video, and image formats.
Many simple conversions can be auto-detected by file extension and the options that produce the most similar quality by default.
ffmpeg -i input.m4a output.mp3

Notes: A limitation of statically linking
glibcis the loss of DNS resolution. Installingnscdthrough your package manager will fix this.
This is relevant if using ffmpeg to relay to an RTMP server via domain name.
# for example, this will not work without `nscd` installed.
ffmpeg -re -stream_loop -1 -i "FooBar.m4v" -c copy -f flv rtmp://stream.example.com/foo/bar
