Curious circularity, from libarchive ./configure --help:

--without-lzma          Don't build support for xz through lzma

Reading the above xz link, I get into the container/compression
considerations that confound me with ogg/mpeg-4.

Are you saying there's a way to substitute linking lzma with xz?
