Docs should mention that you are not only dropping the frames but 
returning error as well. (I agree that error should be returned).

Thanks,

Updated doxy for avcodec_receive_frame. Do you want a note in the option 
doc entry as well?

I think it is better if we put a note there as well.

Thanks,

This sure adds a lot of additional fields to the main struct for a
rather specialized feature, that I personally rather see in the hands
of the user of avcodec, not avcodec itself.

In any case, can't we do this without any new public fields at all?
Put the initial_* state fields into an internal struct (ie.
AVCodecInternal), and expose enabling this through
AVCodecContext->flags or flags2?
That would make me feel much less dirty looking at this patch, personally.

There has been work to turn public AVCodecContext fields into internal
codec options recently as they were too specialized. This commit adds
half a dozen of such fields in one go, so it just feels wrong.

Since, for this proposed use, the initial frame information has to be 
recorded, I thought to make them public, so any avcodec user could check 
them for other purposes. Right now, their population is contingent on 
the changed option being set, but that can be taken care of. But no firm 
preference here.

I have a soft preference to keep the first field distinct in avctx, as 
I've seen CLI users to be sloppy both with option placement and setting 
multiple flags correctly for both the same or different target streams.

CLI usability problems should be resolved in the CLI tools, not in the
avcodec API, imho.
