Are you sure? Which features are those? Do they explicitly require static
linking with ffmpeg, instead of just using private header files? 

If you look into the patch in my last email, you will notice that all files that
were conditioned on defining FFMPEG_A are still built with this patch using
private header-files from the local copy of ffmpeg, but ffmpeg itself is not
compiled.
