AVbin is a binary release of a cross-platform, thin wrapper around Libav’s video and audio decoding library, providing long-term binary compatibility for applications and languages that need it.

I'm requesting that it be added to Portage as a dependency for games-puzzle/brainworkshop because it is a requirement for music support in the game (and possibly other pyglet-based programs). The lastest stable version is 10, but brainworkshop currently requires version 7. The source for avbin is available, but building from source is very cumbersome and may not be feasible, hence the binary distribution.
