Again - no such inclusion guard is necessary.

How does having to learn a new macro for setting a variable to zero help
anybody, much less make things easier to handle?

And I can only repeat what I said before:

I suspect it would be simpler if you just zeroed all of qsv/qsv_decode
at initialization - is there a reason not to?

libav is not the media SDK you speak about - why should we adopt such
macros to check memory allocations in one file when we have hundreds
of memory allocations checked w/o such a macro?

Yes, of course.
