The LPCM case is particular, since the samples are directly there. They have
been packetized to be stored in the container, though, and that is what
av_read_frame() will return you. You can try to control the packet structure
of the input file, but that is very fragile.

With specialized formats, such as WAVE, there are no packets and you could
rely on the block_align parameter, but this is fragile too anyway, so it
would not be a good idea.

Also, you should probably be calling a decoder anyway, to handle the
endianness and other nasty issues.

For the AAC case, there is nothing you can do, you will need to call a
decoder, and it will return how many samples it wants, possibly a variable
amount on a single file.
