Probably would be good to put the test in av_log as well. This way the logic 
in av_log is turned off such as va_start etc and no additional function 
call. Mostly av_log is called which calls av_vlog.

No need to call av_vlog either from av_log and just call av_log_callback 
from av_log if it gets that far.
