Details

ffmpeg version 1:4.2.2-1 gained a new dependency, intel-media-sdk in https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/ffmpeg&id=f4949b65ed63375e4dca8d21c194a851b895a169

The commit indicates ffmpeg is now built with libfmx support and needs intel-media-sdk for that.
intel-media-sdk depends on intel-media-driver which depends on intel-gmmmlib .

Those packages are only useful on systems with specific intel processors or intel gpus .
On my amd threadripper system with amd videocards they are unneeded, unwanted and completely useless .

Please remove intel-media-sdk from ffmpeg depends array.

To allow those with the appropriate hardware to use libfmx/intel-media-sdk support in ffmpeg,
I propose to add libfmx or intel-media-sdk as a makedepend and optdepend.
This task depends upon
