By setting CODEC_FLAG2_SHOW_ALL you get a quicker clean new frame even 
though you will get some distortion prior to this. That is quicker than not 
setting CODEC_FLAG2_SHOW_ALL and waiting on a new frame.

Is there a way to detect when error concealment is complete ? This I think 
would be quite useful if this makes sense. It seems to since you do get a 
quicker clean new frame by setting CODEC_FLAG2_SHOW_ALL.
