It was my expectation that it would only make sense to use a set of dynamic libraries generated from the same build (and thus revision), not to mix and match. Is there a cost to no longer allowing (i.e. documenting) mixing of library versions? Is there a benefit, e.g. in being able to break (internal) ABI (not an issue i oversee)? (My interest here of course is moving forward with avdevice and implementing their APIs in dshow.)
