Using system libraries when they are available should make the build process faster. However, being able to build libraries with debug flags like ASan may be necessary or useful, so it would be worth looking into a way to switch between the two without adding too much complexity to the configurations of libraries.
For FFmpeg, we'll most likely also need to configure vcpkg to build a shared library to link successfully. When I tried to build and link FFmpeg with vcpkg, it complained about something not being built with -fPIC
