the code currently returns 0 and clears packet_done only when
packet_done is 1. If we assume that the same data gets passed in
again in the return 0 case then the decoder might successfully
decode the packet in the packet_done = 0 branch with no data loss or
errors.

I have no test file for this or at least iam not aware of it and so dont
know if this case really works out or gets stuck elsewhere but if it
works then your patch breaks it
