Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
This is a follow-up to JDK-8150503 and an upstream bug report for https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/2089

As per Quality Outreahc, please add josm-found label to this report.

We're using JavaFX Media to play MP3 files. Ubuntu 16.10 and 17.04 use libavcodec 57 (https://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/libavcodec57).

It appears OpenJFX does not support libav 57 out of the box as we needed to create a symilnk to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so to make the MP3 playback work.

Support for libav 57 should be added.

JUSTIFICATION :
To make OpenJFX able to play MP3 on latest version of Ubuntu.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
OpenJFX recognizes libavcodec57
ACTUAL -
Package libavcodec57 not recognized

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
create symlink to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so
