Comment (by cehoyos):

 Replying to [comment:2 squelart]:
 > But I agree with jyavenard that a replacement API avcodec_free_context2
 that respects the external ownership of extradata would be more consistent
 with the documentation and other functions.
 Wouldn't this new function avcodec_free_context2() always lead to a
 memleak? What would be its usecase?
