How does that happen "when lib A is loading and lib B is unloading"

What I understand is follow:
libavcodec  has been dynamically loaded by libA and libB
both does not know whether libA or libB  is using libavcodec
and if libA change some static parameter of libavcodec then libB will 
also see the effect.


Something I have documented that this is dangerous(unsafe) function if 
it is called when you dont know
whether any thing is using libavcodec.
