If I report it to your flac_parser patch, I believe most use-cases will use
something like:

	av_fifo_enlarge(f, av_fifo_size(f) + needed_space);

It would therefore make sense to include the "av_fifo_size(f) +" in the API
itself, so that the argument "size" means: after that, I can add size bytes
to the fifo without overflowing.

In particular, that would help checking for overflows in the addition, which
is often forgotten.
