[Ffmpeg-devel] nb_streams is never initialized?

Okay, I decided to do a bigger cleanup job and start over. After adding
new linker options,
g++ badNbStreams.cpp -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib
-lavformat -lavcodec -ldts -lavutil -logg -lz -lfaad -lvorbisenc
-ltheora -lxvidcore ; ./a.out
it all seems to be magically working again.
It looks like I missed libavformat/avidec.c, which is where the
nb_streams is actually initialized.
I think I might have had a problem with multiple versions of the
libraries being present, but somehow not getting any complaints from the
compiler or linker.
FYI, although I made the AVI file on Windows, I am doing the development
on the current stable distribution of Debian GNU/Linux.
