I thought it was, just re-checked. It is a hard dependency on i686 or x86_64. It seems gas is required for (a flavour of?) arm and otherwise you'll get c/c++ fallback functions. See https://github.com/cisco/openh264 > It looks as if nasm will only work on x86; then > openh264 would not work on any other architecture, and if we add it to so= me > gst-plugins, these would also not work there (well, they do not work anyw= ay, > but that is a different story...). Yeah, so not sure. gst-libav handles h264 already, but I'm not sure what the downside there is. gst-plugins-bad had this comment about openh264 missing...
