This is wrong. decode_nal_units is an infinite loop which decode all the
NAL in the input buffer. So all the logic is the creation of theses
buffers. In avc mode, it is done by the encoder at the mux level and
ffmpeg use the chunk limit directly, in all other modes (raw bitstream),
it is done by the h264_parse function which smart part is find_frame_end
function. This function already support multiple slices (and the rest of
the code too) when Arbitary Slice Order (ASO) is not used (and when
there is no fields).

To support ASO and fields, we need to write a smarter find_frame_end
which decode SPS and PPS and the beginning of slice header, and use the
relevant chapter of the norm already quoted on this list.

Best Regards.

P.S.: please use the new list address.
