[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/2 v3] avcodec/decode: use a packet list to store packet properties

[James Almer]

Keeping only the latest packet fed to the decoder works only for decoders that
return a frame immediately after every consumed packet. Decoders that consume
several packets before they return a frame will fill said frame with properties
taken from the last consumed packet instead of the earliest.
