its always better to have code maintained than not maintained. But
lack of time is a problem of course, though i dont think this needs
much time ...

Iam thinking that a generic solution outside the codec would be better
There are other codecs that are affected by this. mpeg2 is the most
well known, we too there do return frames + timing instead of
duplicating like the spec mandates.
and we are far from the only doing this, libmpeg2 does it too

If not in ffmpeg.c, then a flag that duplicates frames where needed
in avcodec_decode_video*() would be an option.
