Installed SVT-AV1 1.5.0 from Slackbuilds on my Slackware 15.0 i586
it works, but at around 0.8 fps for 720p video
ffmpeg -i MLP_animation_sleepsong_IeIDCNS-VUw.webm -s 1280x720 -an -f yuv4mpegpipe - | SvtAv1EncApp -i - -b mlp.ivf --passes 1 --rc 1 --tbr 1000
after looking at code I see all asm there is 64bit :)
this explains why it is much faster on x86_64.
Anyway, even 0.8 fps is ok for short (few mins) clips, I guess.
