You can just break here and remove stop_at_current_packet.

You are removing some packets from the list and then readding some of
these in a way that keeps the order of the list. Makes me wonder whether
it would not be better to iterate through the list and process the
packets without moving them from the list (and remove the packets from
the list that are not supposed to be kept there even if said packets are
in the middle of the list). The only mildly unelegant thing is that one
would need to duplicate and restore the time related fields in the loop.

In this case, you should not use av_packet_ref() above at all, but move
the packet to the list; then you only need to unref the packet in the
error case.

If you returned ret directly here, the effective scope of ret would be
the loop body.
