I think this would require some kind of "global context" (shared
between all the AVFormatContexts) for the counter, right? Wouldn't
this break multithreaded applications?

I see that libavformat used to fill some fields (including SSRC)
with random(), but that was changed to 0 for some reason. So, I
am not sure if introducing random values again would be welcome
or not.
