Every bitstream filter behaves as intended now, so there's no need to
wait for the first packet of every stream.

I'm just curious: Will this fix ticket #6375?

Unlikely. That's from ffmpeg.c buffering logic which I'm not changing here.

Is this intended to change any files ?

this changes slightly:
./ffmpeg -i ~/tickets/2263/2263-slow-ss.mkv -vframes 3 file.mkv

not saying this is a issue in the patch or anything (i am in favor of
the simplification in fact), just that i saw this change

I can't access that file, but just in case it's related, this patch is
meant to be applied after the first. Otherwise, as the first patch
states, stream parameters that might be changed by ffmpeg.c while
processing an input frame (specifically field_order) will not be taken
into account during write_header.
You might remember i have sent this patch alone before, and how it
affected matroska files because of differing field_order values,
including fate-rgb24-mkv.

For that matter, ffmpeg.c changing any output codecpar values while
reading an input frame (that is, long after the output file and streams
have been initialized) is a very hacky thing to do. This is something
I'd expect avformat_find_stream_info() to do instead, since it decodes
some frames to get all the info it needs, and not the API user (ffmpeg.c).

Will remove it again.

Just tested it, and it was indeed field_order in the output codecpar.
And it unfortunately happens with both patches applied.
Looks like the packet that gets processed by ffmpeg.c to fill
field_order is not necessarily the first to show up, and the only way to
effectively write the header after it is with the delayed header code as
it's implemented in av_interleaved_write_frame.

So yeah, patch 1 can be applied or dropped as preferred (it after all
does at least cover some cases, like fate-rgb24-mkv), but this one
should still be applied regardless of the above.
