Sure. Problem is per stream counting is not reasonable since streams
might not have many packets present this will cause much buffering.

I believe the first suggestion ensure memory consumed is less that a
certain amount for each call of av_read_packet, which is reasonable and
seem to work fine with the samples I have.
