It's not configured poorly. It's configure appropriately for ReadyNASOS. Transcoding apps in general should be including their own libraries, for a variety of reasons. BTW, you can just tell ffmpeg to write to /proc/self/fd/1 if you want the output to go to stdout, using the file protocol driver. That said, it's a trivial change to add pipe output support, so if the rest of the ffmpeg configuration is good enough for subsonic to use, then we might as well enable the pipe protocol driver to make things easier.
Debian switched to libav several years ago. ReadyNASOS uses ffmpeg, which seems to be better-maintained these days. You shouldn't try to downgrade to the Debian 7 libav packages.
