Description
JavaFX media uses libav on Linux. Newer versions of libav are not, in general, backward compatible with previous versions, so we ship stub libraries for each version that we support. In JDK 9 (and 8) we currently ship stub libraries for libav 53 and 54. Now that version 56 is out and is the default as of Ubuntu 14.10 we need to add support for libav 56 and also ship stub libraries for 55 and 56 along with JavaFX in JDK 9.
Comments
No need to create special test, because major part of FX Media tests will fail on Ubuntu 16 without this fix.

Does this bug cover Ubuntu 16.04? > http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/ffmpeg I guess answer is yes, but would like to be sure.
