Benifit was in sense that Library are still subject to race conditions when they apply there custom locks.
Take a case of some rtos where pthread_mutex are not used because of unexpected latency, where it becomes necessary to make custom locks( they are mostly strictly priority based). 

I was trying to making a concurrent view design of ffmpeg. Till I could verify all this or someone help me with that veiw. 

I would have appricated you, but insead of any sollution you are repeating those problems that has allready been specified in this mailing chain.
