    lavc: introduce a new decoding/encoding API with decoupled input/output · 05f66706

    Until now, the decoding API was restricted to outputting 0 or 1 frames
    per input packet. It also enforces a somewhat rigid dataflow in general.
    
    This new API seeks to relax these restrictions by decoupling input and
    output. Instead of doing a single call on each decode step, which may
    consume the packet and may produce output, the new API requires the user
    to send input first, and then ask for output.
    
    For now, there are no codecs supporting this API. The API can work with
    codecs using the old API, and most code added here is to make them
    interoperate. The reverse is not possible, although for audio it might.
