Comment:
av_packet_unref(&pkt) does not directly free pkt.data (pkt is not a
pointer here, hence pkt->data would not even compile); instead it just
unreferences the AVBufferRef pkt.buf (and the packet's side-data) and only
if the reference counter of the underlying AVBuffer is zero will the
actual resource owned by the AVBuffer be freed. But flush_pkt.buf is NULL,
i.e. there is no underlying AVBuffer. The data field is used here only to
say "I am a flush packet". Nothing will be freed in case pkt.data ==
flush_pkt.data.
