Even if the library doesn't currently support getting those,
could you at least not reset them? Containers may carry
their own colorspace fields that will be set..

You're not setting any output timestamps on the frame?
Shouldn't you at least copy the properties from the source packet?
I get that it's just the first version of the decoder, so it's expected
to be spartan, but not having proper timestamp handling is a bit
below our standards.

Use av_packet_alloc, we've deprecated sizeof(AVPacket) from the API
and shouldn't use more of it internally.
