I don't think so, but I may be wrong. The AV_ZERO macros are of course
not suited here.

Yeah, squashing issue. My next patch must have crossed your mail.

I thought of having another put_bits function like
put_byte_something(PutBitContext, uint8_t byte, unsigned int len).
But probably overkill.

Btw, afaik, the padding is 0xFF, so expecting 0 in the buffer there
can't do the job.
