[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 07/10] avformat/mux: Remove pointless timestamp backups

[Andreas Rheinhardt]

write_packet() currently saves the original timestamps of the packet it
got and restores them in case writing fails. This is unnecessary as none
of write_packet()'s callers make any use of these timestamps at all. So
remove this and add a general comment to the function that timestamps
may be modified; also remove a long outdated comment about side data.

Actually, doing the timestamp backups in write_packet() never made much
sense: Timestamps may also be modified before the packet reaches
write_packet(). Furthermore, backups for av_interleaved_write_frame()
don't make sense at all, so these backups should have been performed in
av_write_frame().
