I guess Alessio missed my "Perhaps", I was just saying it was worth  
checking.

I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that it was only the  
last release of gmerlin-avdecoder that needed a very specific version  
of libgavl.  I believe there was a bug in libgavl that was causing  
problems in gmerlin-avdecoder.  So unless you have specific words from  
Berkhard saying that this is generally the case, I think this is worth  
trying.
