Hello,

     Attached path fixes potential memory leak in output format context 
when av_interleaved_write_frame() is used.
This function can use AVFormatContext.packet_buffer for packet ordering, 
but this buffer is not feed later in avformat_free_context().
The Valgrind utiluty clearly shows this leak.

Note polease that when closing input context with 
avformat_close_input(AVFormatContext **ps) , the packet_buffer is 
correctly freed by flush_packet_queue(s) -> 
free_packet_buffer(&s->packet_buffer, &s->packet_buffer_end). But 
free_packet_buffer() is declared as static in utils.c and can not be 
called directly from application code.

So, I propose to add this call into avformat_free_context() to avoid 
memory leaks on output.

Regards,
     Andrey Myznikov
