Relying on logs alone and not checking the exit code is a bad practice, so 
I am not super convinced this feature is worth having.

Something like this should not be visible on the default loglevel. So the 
loglevel should be reduced to verbose or debug.

And if we print out something, then let's make it more useful and 
readable, e.g.:

av_log(NULL, AV_LOG_VERBOSE, "Exiting with exit code %d.\n", ret);

Regards,
Marton
