av_register_all() *don't* initialize libavformat !
Here is what it does:
 - initialize lavc
 - register all codecs
 - register all formats

I guess the last 2 steps are not needed to make use of
libavdevice (not sure about 1st step).
I don't like this call to av_register_all. (And I think
av_register_all should be renamed to avformat_register_all
anyway)
