"lame" is a command line tool, not a shared library, so this is an issue that
using the ffmpegthumbnailer library would not solve.

We have a thumbnailer that uses the "mplayer" command line tool, if you need
such a type of optional dependency.

The right way to solve that would be to use explicit dlopen calls to load the
ffmpeg libraries.

In other words, I still see no benefits for using yet another abstraction
layer, that does not actually offer the interface we need (generating
thumbnails directly to memory).
