Exactly, but you'd need to build the libav libs yourself, with debugging info.

There's another thing that's nagging me. IIUC, the goal here is to convert a buffer of (C) floats into signed shorts. I have some difficulty believing that doing this through a generic workhouse function can be more efficient than writing a simple loop and let a good optimising compiler create the best assembly out of it ...
