I'm happy to help replace them with ff_dlog() or remove them, for the sake
of resolving the "consistency" argument.

Why care now? I don't mind minor issues, our tree is littered with them,
but with the amount of changes Michael is making in this area, this isn't
"minor" anymore, and it's growing. It's better to resolve such issues
before it grows out of hand and we're stuck with another MpegEncContext or
DspUtil.
