Thank you for suggestion but unfortunately AVCodec::flush is useless
for this issue. The AVCodec::flush intended to *drop* decoded frames
and reset decoder before seeking and it calls by module outside of decoder.
My task is keep all frames without losing and decoder initiates
"flushing" by itself. So it is different kind of "flush".
