That's a few C++ classes (VideoPictureQueue, PacketQueue, Decoder,
and a few others), some of which use the normal lavc/lavf API.  There
are also references to Python and SDL, and of course libc.  The
wonderful tool "nm" will tell you all this.

My understanding of the LGPL is that there is no requirement to
release source code to that file.
