    avcodec: clarify some decoding/encoding API details · f940492b
    wm4 authored
    Make it clear that there is no timing-dependent behavior. In particular,
    there is no state in which both input and output are denied, and where
    you have to wait for a while yourself to make progress (apparently some
    hardware decoders like to do this).
    
    Avoid wording that makes references to time. It shouldn't be mistaken
    for some kind of asynchronous API (like POSIX read() can return EAGAIN
    if there is no new input yet). It's a state machine, so try to use
    appropriate terms.
