What I mean by that is replacing the

mutex.lock();
cout << msg;
mutex.unlock();

with

VERBOSE(VB_LIBAV, msg);

in your function myth_av_log(...)

if you look at the VERBOSE macro it effectively does the
same thing with the added bonus of timestamping and the
ability to turn them off, by not selecting --verbose VB_LIBAV
