[Libav-user] when to call av_register_all()

[Roman Ryltsov]

Because you never know (unless you have intimate knowledge of internals)
whether it is just freeing the resources in use, or it also flushes data
and takes certain completing steps which are absolutely necessary. Graceful
closing is always a good thing to do, FFmpeg is hardly an exception.
