Apologies, I do see skip_samples is used, but it's unclear if it is correct
or how to use it.

i.e. skip_samples is documented as:

    "Number of samples to skip at the start of the frame decoded from the next packet."

It's extremely vague, doesn't really say *when* to discard samples. After
start? After a seek? Every packet? Does skip_samples get updated mid-demux?

I've been told it's after every reset (i.e. call to av_codec_flush), but the docs
sure don't seem to say this...

Also a friendly reminder that users may not be using libavcodec, but their own
decoder.

Cheers,
