As said it was not explicitly stated so the error may well be on my
side, but I assumed that dependencies were only supposed to be in the order:
libavutil <- libavcodec <- libavformat demuxers <- libavformat streams

Well, in my view it did only play _the_ local file specified, now it
plays possible another local file in addition, but this was not my point
in _this_ email.

I meant "small" more in the sense of "innocent" and "interesting" in
direction of "useful/nice/whatever".
