This description of USE libav is misleading

 * Found these USE flags for media-plugins/gst-plugins-libav-1.14.4.3.4.5:
 U I
 + + abi_x86_32 : 32-bit (x86) libraries

When set it download ffmpeg-3.4.5 and bundle compiles
When unset it takes system-ffmpeg
should be like:
---
 + - libav      : Prefer newly downloaded bundled ffmpeg, unset takes system-ffmpeg

This is just the global description...

For local description, I would suggest:
"Use bundled ffmpeg as workaround for upstream's lack of support for libav"
