Granted, I did not dig too deep and don't know about ffmpeg much. I thought
av_opt_free was freeing also the priv_data pointer so glibc would call
it a free of an unallocated address.

This showed up as a crash when adding new video clips to a kdenlive project
and the crash has been gone since I added this change.
