Bug Description
Binary package hint: ffmpeg
OS: Karmic 9.10
Arch: x86_64
Package: libavcodec-dev 4:0.5+svn200907
Installing libavcodec-dev on Ubuntu Karmic (9.10), /usr/include/
#define LIBAVCODEC_
#define LIBAVCODEC_
#define LIBAVCODEC_
which, according to upstream ffmpeg's repository, relates to this commit (from Thu, 26 Feb 2009):
http://
Though, from .deb file:
$ apt-cache show libavcodec-dev | grep Version:
Version: 4:0.5+svn200907
The supposed SVN version number definitely is not the actual one !
I'd recommend upgrade to at least libavcodec 52.30
( see http://
Without this, ffmpeg is not thread/instance safe, meaning that 2 applications using ffmpeg's decoders at the same time (unless they are statically compiled) have good chances to crash.
(might need to be forwarded to Debian Multimedia people as well ...)

This won't happen before the next ffmpeg release. Unfortunately there is no schedule for that.
However I'm considering packaging a snapshot of ffmpeg in a seperate package. I'm still not sure on the defaults, though, probably I'll track astrange's ffmpeg-mt git branch, though.
Let's discuss this on our mailing list please: http:// lists.alioth. debian. org/mailman/ listinfo/ pkg-multimedia- maintainers
