Re: [Gnash-dev] Media handlers

[Andrea Palmatè]

also dynamically linking ffmpeg produce the same results. 
Nothing is  returned by  handlers.str()
I'm avoiding to compile also gnash dynamically because i have some problems in 
the linking phase
I'll try to fix this problem and hope this could fix the problem
