But it's a kinda hard to figure out, that the library is working,  
because ffmpeg compiles without problems since the library is  
existing. After compiling everything looks like the library is  
working, but when this (not working) library ffmpeg just says that  
the codec is not supported... i think it would be better, when ffmpeg  
says that there's a problem with the library...
