I don't want new API for a field type change. I agree however we could
use one internally.

This approach has already been used in other places for the same
purpose, even right now in lavu, but I'll nonetheless go with whatever
the majority prefers.

Yeah, missed it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Empty packets are considered flush packets, right? Guess we should be
rejecting packets where pkt->size == 0 && pkt->data != NULL in
av_bsf_send_packet(), same as we do in avcodec_send_packet(). I'll send
a patch for that later.

And sure, I can check for other cases of code that might need extra
precautions.

Yes. Will port it as well.

Will look into these.

I don't share the sentiment, but if that's the general consensus, then
I'll not be against it.
