No. In case the datastream is encrypted (ptr1/ptr2 are both
decoded_bytes_buffer), and that's why FFSWAP is used in current code.
My code will overwrite the beginning of decoded_bytes_buffer
when reading its end.
An alternative solution would be to use current FFSWAP code
for scrambled streams and use my new code for straight streams.
This would avoid allocating one more buffer.
