Actually I didn't choose anything, the new Fedora libdvndav snuck in
w/o me noticing. Unfortunately the new libdvndav is not even mentioned
in sourceforge or freshmeat - only after some extended research did I
find that an mplayer developer decided to pick this up and rerelease
it. I also found it unconventional that the original author was
removed from the AUTHORS file, but I didn't check what background
story there is (if there is one).

So all in all it is a bit of a fuss what happened with libdvndav both
upstream and in the packaged world. I would had just hoped that the
Fedora maintainer could have given a heads-up to the multimedia repos
about such a move.
