I guess you are using "mpv", so _don't_ remove anything related to libavdevice57.

Yep, absolutely. It actually depends on what the package is
BuildRequire'ing when built, and therefore it requires some specific
packages for its run time.

Absolutely, yes! In case you want to install another package which
requires some of these older libav* packages, they just get
re-installed.
