I see libavc1394 only being used in tests/test-echo.cpp (which is probably not
important to ffado users, in contrast to ffado developers) and in
src/bounce/bounce_slave_avdevice.cpp.  The latter does not work on top of the
new firewire kernel drivers at all since it also attempts to replace the local
node's Configuration ROM for which we don't have an ioctl in firewire-core and
never will.  (The bounce device seems to implement a rudimentary audio device
on the local node.)

Hence I do not see any harm done by a build without libavc1394.  But admittedly
I have not actually tested a build after libavc1394 headers being removed from
the system yet.
