[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/3] lavf/srtdec: Permit streaming input

API break.

Sure, better break both cases than only one.

> Finally I will note that sorting does not happen when subtitles are
> muxed in say mkv or avi, so the behavior is not even consistent across
> demuxers that support subtitles.

AVI or MKV demuxer do not sort their packets because the packets are
supposed to be already sorted; ASS demuxer sorts its packets because
there is no guarantee the text are sorted in the file. [exploding head
