simple is good
race is bad

Some more advanced EC code would be cool, if such a path would stay possible
I mean something that could maybe do a 2nd pass and fill in damaged slices
using both past and future non-damaged slices
(i mean not just for ffv1 but all codecs)
so the codec itself would do simply EC itself not depending on much surrounding
state.
Bit it then could export side data about what areas are damaged and have something
in a 2nd pass go over these areas and fill them in with more advanaced stuff

thx
