Since in your original post, you mention:

"I am streaming out in flv (rtmp) format to a remote host."

RTMP uses TCP protocol, so transmission is guaranteed; so if library says
bytes were written, we may assume they are. link:

In case you want to implement more robust application for detecting packets
transmission, you might try to use libpcap/winpcap library, which is
designed for such kind of purposes. link:
