 If you are using avformat through av_read_frame already, then you don't
 need to do anything. Just don't set the chunk decoding flag.

 > If I'm wrong, and there's a way to insert a codec parser between
 receiver and decoder using public FFMPEG API, I'd be thankful for any
 pointers on how to accomplish that.

 Look into av_parser_parse2 and the related functions in avcodec.h, which
 are used to do this. If you use an internal demuxer it'll do that
 automatically, if you use an external one (like you seem to be), its best
 to use that to create a fully reconstructed bitstream using a parser.
