I was thinking about avoiding the need for av_grow_packet and instead
use av_new_packet + memcpy, but there currently isn't a reliable way to
copy everything necessary like pos, pts etc. to the new packet (doing it
manually in the function will break as soon as a new field is added and
someone forgets to update that function).
If there are no comments I threaten to apply "somewhen".
