what about MAX_STREAM_DURATION ?
and no IMO its no bug to ignore MAX_READ_SIZE if some packets could be decoded
stopping based on duration is better as its independant of the bitrate which
could vary very widely between files

ive no objections to a AVFMT_2STREAMS flag in AVInputFormat
furthermore ive no objections to make the various limits (MAX_STREAM_DURATION
, ...) user settable

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the library is
