I have been looking at the problem some more. For this codec, I need to
keep the previous frame data for MC. Right now, I have data structures
for current and previous frames allocated as part of the codec's private
structure. Should I turn those into structure pointers that are
allocated and freed during _init() and _end() functions?

Or should I not bother to keep the previous AVFrame structure and
instead keep the data stashed in a private buffer, and also reget the
same frame each time?

Or something else? :) xan.c is not the only video decoder that follows
this pattern and I will probably need to fix the others.

	Thanks for your advice on this matter...
