linking with libavcodec, still seeing undefined references

I'm trying to compile a libavcodec example. I'm getting the following error:

lol@foldingmachine:~/p/avtest$ g++ main.cpp -o main -lavcodec
main.cpp: In function ‘void audio_decode_example(const char*, const char*)’:

As you can see I am linking with libavcodec but still getting undefined references. Is there anything else I have to link with to get these symbols defined?

I asked on IRC, and the answer was to apply extern "C". I changed this:

#include <libavcodec/avcodec.h>

to this:

extern "C" {
    #include <libavcodec/avcodec.h>
}

in the source file, and now it compiles with no errors.
