Please have a look at the attached patch (based on H.264 spec,
7.4.1.2.3). Is this the right way to go?

The patch isn't complete yet (it misses detection of the first
VCL NAL unit of a primary coded picture as a further condition to
 reset same_access_unit, H.264 spec, 7.4.1.2.4), but it works for
the sample I play with (contains AUDs).

In case it is the right way, what's an appropriate location for
implementing 7.4.1.2.4?

I think, decode_slice_header() would be such a location. On the
other hand, an implementation of 7.4.1.2.4 must exist already
anywhere -- where should I look for it?

Bye.
