Up until now, ff_cbs_write_packet always initialized the packet structure it received without documenting this behaviour; furthermore, the packet's buffer would (on success) be overwritten with the new buffer without unreferencing the old. This meant that the input packet had to be either clean (otherwise there would be memleaks) in which case the initialization is redundant or uninitialized. ff_cbs_write_packet was never used with uninitialized packets, so the initialization was redundant. Worse yet, it forced callers to use more than one packet and made it difficult to add side-data to a packet designated for output, because said side-data could only be attached after the call to ff_cbs_write_packet. This has been changed. It is now allowed to use a non-blank packet. The currently existing buffer will be unreferenced and replaced by the new one, as will be the accompanying fields (i.e. data and size). The rest isn't touched at all. This change will enable us to use only one packet in the bitstream filters that rely on CBS. This commit also updates the documentation of ff_cbs_write_extradata and ff_cbs_write_packet (to better describe existing behaviour and in the latter case to also describe the new behaviour).

provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.libavformat
implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.libavutil
includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.libavfilter
provides a mean to alter decoded Audio and Video through chain of filters.libavdevice
provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.libswresample
implements audio mixing and resampling routines.libswscale
implements color conversion and scaling routines.
Tools
- ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
