no, the user is never allowed to cast AVPacket.data to or from a AVFrame
any such cast in user code is a design flaw somewhere

The user provides a AVFrame to an encoder and the (raw) encoder
would do the magic encapsulation of the AVFrame into a AVPacket

If a user wants to send a AVFrame directly to a muxer then this
would call the uncoded_frame API which takes a AVFrame and this would
then do the magic encapsulation if needed (thats identical your API)
(strictly speaking the uncoded frame API could call the rawvideo
 encoder or share code with it to do it)
