Comment (by devans@…):
I'm not sure why you want to do this. OpenSSL is considered a second
choice for a couple of features due to its (nonfree) license restrictions.
Because of this any +openssl variant would require the +nonfree variant as
well (enforced in ffmpeg's configure).
Features involved are
* tls protocol -- ffmpeg can use either gnutls or openssl for this,
currently configured using gnutls.
* rtmpe protocol -- ffmpeg has two versions of this, one using openssl
(ffrtmpcrypt) and one using librtmp (rtmp*). Currently the openssl
version is disabled and the librtmp version can be activated using
existing variant +librtmp.
So I don't see that using openssl would add any functionality and it
definitely adds licensing restrictions that do not
come into play if gnutls and librtmp are used instead.
But maybe I'm wrong. What advantage do you see?
