Why don't you merge this initialization and the assignment below?

The check for m is completely unnecessary; Coverity will probably
complain about this (because this check implies that m can be NULL, but
then the line above the check would crash).

It is possible to store multiple entries with the same value in an
AVDictionary. This function is not designed to handle this case, as one
can't tell it which one one wants to pop (IIRC the rest of the API does
not properly support this either, but that is not a reason to add a new
API with this limitation).
Furthermore, while this may be used to avoid a few allocations with the
current implementation, said implementation is not guaranteed to stay
this way.
Finally, are there more intended uses than the one in the second patch?
If so, this could also be simply fixed by strduping the value without
any need for a further API addition.
