not  necessarily, since most of those video decoding backends like
ffmpeg, libavifile, gmerlin, quicktime4linux are plugin based and use
each other as backends. so the interrelations between all those are
somewhat messy...

yes. i guess that libavifile comes with an ffmpeg-plugin which will be
initialized on loading and which (due to the way ffmpeg is not released)
conflicts with the ffmpeg version installed on the computer.

a similar problem occured with libstdc++ and ati/radeon drivers a while
ago. i don't think there is a generic solution for such problems (hmm,
on w32 you have to bundle your library with all it's dependencies; maybe
this is the solution;; maybe not)
