Does your patch has any measureable speed difference for some streams? It 
seems like a very micro optimialization, because ff_metadata_conv bails
out early as well.

First of all note that I recall it being the case for several function calls
in succession there. Secondly, I didn't measure it, but see what I wrote at:

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Optimizing_Code_for_Speed/Factor_Optimizations#Are_%22Small%22_Optimizations_Desirable?

non-inline function calls can be quite slow.

Theoretical optimizations are all nice and well, but numbers are the
only reality in the world. :)
