[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 03/11] fftools/ffmpeg_enc: stop configuring filter inputs from encoder flush

[Anton Khirnov]

When no frames are ever seen by an encoder, encoder flush will do a
last-ditch attempt to configure its source filtergraph in order to at
least get the stream parameters. This involves extracting demuxer
parameters from filtergraph source inputs, which is
* a bad layering violation
* probably unreachable, because decoders are flushed before encoders,
  which should call ifilter_send_eof(), which will also set these
  parameters; however due to complex control flow it is hard to be
  entirely sure this code can never be triggered

Even if this code can actually be reached, it is probably better to
return an error as the comment above it says.
