If you make no effort to make it happen sure. There are indeed few 
incompatibilities. The real question you should ask yourself is: do I 
want to ffmepg libaries be used by C++ program? Answering no means you 
do not care for exemple QT/KDE program to use ffmpeg libraries simply.

As already said, most decent C libaries provide C++ compatible include 
files, the libc being the first exemple that comes to mind but many 
graphical C libraries like X11 come just after it.

Before the commit mentioned in another post it was not a problem. Now it is.

The language argument sounds a bit like: I want to keep my "C" blood 
pure and do not mix with other race.
