I've checked struct AVVideoEncParams, it doesn't look fitting: it
contains exact qp (plus qp per plane), while my patch suggests
changing max-qp limit for current and following frames.
AVVideoEncParams also has some extra fields that I'm unsure how to
handle (they are unrelated to what I'm trying to do),
I haven't found any other struct that would contain something like max qp.
What is ROI? What code can I use as an example of your suggestion?
