I now added a patch that always sets the number of threads to the number
of processors on the system:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bino.git/commit/?id=4e87aef9d7840d2b387e7efd932908a33057bd84

It uses the function avcodec_thread_init() in addition to setting
thread_count. This seems to be deprecated in ffmpeg-mt now, but should
not (yet) be a problem, and it makes this work also on vanilla ffmpeg.

Is there some restriction on the number of threads, for example should
it always be a power of two? Do you see other potential problems with
this approach?
