That would imply that the FFmpeg headers are C++ headers or that 
we at least do support C++ in the sense that we test it and make 
sure it does not brake.
Reality is that FFmpeg offers C headers, if somebody wants to use 
them from C++, it is his responsibility to ensure that all 
necessary measure are being taken care of (that is not only 
extern "C").
