I'm not the maintainer so consider it a bystanders comment....
but I consider that kind of "solution" sweeping as sweeping lav* issues
"under the rug" and just updating the strings as necessary would at
least mean less code.
I expect distro packagers may have different opinions though.

Depending on what name is supposed to be and what we are allowed to
assume what must stay the same without changing API,
just
len = strlen(*p);
strncmp(*p, priv->avif->name, len) == 0 &&
(priv->avif->name[len] == 0 || riv->avif->name[len] == ',')
might be possible as well.
