I'm not sure what you're trying to show with the numbers above. Anyway
my patch only covers libavcodec and no other part of FFmpeg. There's
still some stuff in libavcodec outside it, but less than one tenth of
the symbols that should be hidden. More could be marked later but I
think it's better to do that after the basic visibility support is in
FFmpeg.
