Each AVCodec has a flush function which should do this. So as you
suggested, you need a flushing state which means you will output "old"
frames while consuming new frames and caching them internally in some way.
Then, when the decoder is flushed (either because flush was called, or
because all old cached frames have been returned), you can use all queued
packets to reinit the hw and start outputing frames right away.
