It can use both liblzo and zlib, and which one is used can be selected
independantly for each frame, so no, the codec is not unusable without
it (well, without both that's a different thing).
This was also the reason why I didn't add a flag to make sure it is
printed only once - if only some frames were encoded in the not
supported format it would make it easier to correlate some things.
Also when it is only printed once, in the case of MPlayer it will
probably end up in the middle of all other messages where nobody will
find it :-).
But if you still want, I can change it.
