The use case is simply when working with the api doing encoding/muxing and running into a problem in many cases the key is some field value in one of those contexts not being set correctly, where correctly is not always obvious (see the posting on libav-user yesterday where you helped me). Simulating a similar encoding/muxing using an ffmpeg command line is the first thing I do to see if it should generally work. If that is the case, looking at the context fields helps a lot. I used to fire up a gcc/gdb based tool for that but that stopped to work on my platform now. Probably not a typical ffmpeg user use case. If there is no way currently then I will just have to get familiar with the standard debugging tools. I just thought I'd ask before I do that.
