That direction of compatibility was broken a long time ago, and that is up
to people who care about what happens to libav to restore it if they want.
(Also, if you go there with a patch, saying it's for compatibility with
ffmpeg is pretty much a sure way to get rejected.)

The risk we want to avoid if if libav adds a function with the same name as
one we already added but with a different type and/or semantic.

Anyway, the function is not really exported as "part of the public API", it
is put in the ff_ namespace, for functions that need to be visible beyond
their source file but not beyond the limits of the library.
