Not sure if the difference is relevant (and I see that there are functions
in libavcodec that are called inside loops and get 4 or more arguments - see
ff_h264_decode_nal() for example). Moreover, if there are performance problems
we can inline the function.

Anyway, let's see what Michael says about reusing the NAL parsing code.
