You do know that these function are highly independent, 
in the sense that neither of them "calls" the other, 
both of them are low-level meaning they have a large 
backtrace (at least one that goes up to ffmpeg.c to 
find a common ancestor, afair)?

If you want to trace functions, I would recommend 
using gdb and setting breakpoints.
