I wasn't objecting to reading it, I just don't like it much that
you're storing it in a context variable, that makes it rather hard
to find out it's not used.
Why do you think it is worse to do e.g.

> +    ctx->frame_num = get_bits(&ctx->gb, 8);

skip_bits(&ctx->gb, 8); // frame_num
(or keep the get_bits, then it's even less change to re-add it).
