The AVCodecContext cast looks like a recipe for disaster. The function
is internal to the H264 decoder, so if it at some point decides to
actually access the AVCodecContext it receives, or even worse, the
priv_data element in it, expecting a H264Context, then everything goes
to hell.
Just another sign why exporting functions internal from a decoder is
just an overall bad idea...
