So I have a more conceptual question, maybe Kieran can help answer this
also. Why are these tests called api-$codec tests? I don't see anything
flac/h264 specific in these tests so far, and they could basically be
reused for any video (h264) or audio (flac) test (for audio: as long as
there's an encoder and it's zero-delay). Which then begs the question: if
we extend this to multiple codecs with delay and no encoder and so on,
aren't we rewriting ffmpeg? So, conceptually, what are we trying to
accomplish here? We're not testing the h264/flac api, which is what the
name suggests. What _is_ the ultimate goal for these tests?
