Hi Peter! Please reply to all recipients.
I have already replied to your previous post here - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/emscripten-discuss/tSTHTMiXOns - please read it. If you are so concerned about the code quality of ffmpeg, then you should try to do https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_refactoring - also see https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/things-you-should-never-do-part-i/ and https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/01/23/rub-a-dub-dub/ . But don't expect Emscripten to be the silver bullet that will magically help in that.
