The interface number of a shared library should usually be distinct
from the version number of the package itself, since
interface usually does not correspond to package versions.
Interface do change with minor version upgrades, in which
case interface number should be updated, and
even with major version upgrades, interface compatibility can
be kept, which means interface number does not need to change.
avifile-player probably ignores that part, or changes
the library version number on every release, or whatever.
