Work Items

Work items:
Add ffmpeg and x264 to all builds: DONE
Add other libraries needed to encode in formats the player is supposed to support (AMR etc. taken out due to licensing restrictions): DONE
Sort out licensing: AMR should be tested, but the encoding libraries are not 100% free (No way we can distribute it, will have to disable the feature): DONE
Add encoding functionality: DONE
Improve benchmark output: DONE
