The only flag, for now, is AVFMT_EVENT_FLAG_METADATA_UPDATED, which is updated 
after each call to
av_read_frame(). This comes with the caveat that, on stream start, it might not 
be set properly
as packets might be buffered in AVFormatContext.packet_buffer before being 
given to the user
in av_read_frame().
