Hi Tobias,

my understanding of AV_LOG_QUIET would be that when program code logs a message 
with that level, it will be printed even when the user has "-loglevel quiet".
I would wonder why such log messages shouldn't be prefixed with the time 
(normally). 
To me it appears that the special case is rather the log invocation on exit 
which prints - well: nothing.

I'd rather question why it is not printing the log level for quiet. Is it 
really intended or was it only done to make it possible to print this empty 
message on exit?

Do I see it wrong? Then I'll change it of course.

Thanks a lot for reviewing!
