Do you consider the following pretty:
> const int av_aes_size = sizeof(AVAES) + 15;
> int av_aes_init(void *v, const uint8_t *key, int key_bits, int decrypt) {
> AVAES *a = (void *)(((uint8_t *)v) + ((-(long)ff_alloca_##name##_buffer)&15)));

uint8_t aes_context[av_aes_size];
or
void *aes_context = malloc(av_aes_size);
or
void *aes_context = alloca(av_aes_size);
(using the first in asfcrypt.c, I assume we don't need to support
any compilers that do not support variable-size stack arrays?)

av_aes_init(aes_context, ...);
