So since this is static av_always_inline, it should just be 
start_code_is_valid()?

I only put it there because that is where avpriv_find_start_code() is 
declared, so I knew it was already included.

Should I move the definition and declaration of avpriv_find_start_code() 
to startcode.(c|h)?

I'll have to look at them all again and I'll add that to the commit message.
