If you look at the other listed ports they all use libavcodec. If you look
at the WANTLIBs they link against the various codec libraries libavcodec
does via picking up libraries from pkg-config.
This isn't specific to the multimedia stack. It's how shared lib and
pkg-config
work and why you see libs spread around as they are with WANTLIBs.
