I don't like this. It is *not* usefull for Apps: every app will use its logger or UI toolkit thing if they need to. They will never use that except for debugging purpose. This printing is specific to our tools. If ffserver goes out of the repository, it's not considered an FFmpeg tool. So you have 2 solutions here, duplicate or simply drop them. Exposing printing helps makes no sense to me. Maybe it would make sense as a string, but even then it's broken by design IMO.
