 I'm working on building ffmpeg from git sources on linux/64.

 Currently, a build of `master` fails to play a video; a build of `release`
 -- same rev, config, same machine, same input -- works fine.

 This only happens on some linux/64 machines I build the new ffmpeg-master
 on -- not all (They're all/always linux/64, with NVidia video).  So
 there's some sort of ENV dependency.  But the built-from-src *release*
 version definitely works -- both standalone AND as an external ffmpeg to
 XBMC.  the -master branch does not.

 Here's what I'm doing
