That field was added to store timestamp conversion state for audio
decoding code. Later it started being used by streamcopy as well, but
that use is wrong because, for a given input stream, both decoding and
an arbitrary number of streamcopies may be performed simultaneously.
They would then all overwrite the same state variable.
Store this state in MuxStream instead.
This is the last use of InputStream in of_streamcopy(), so the ist
parameter can now be removed.
Analogous to -enc_stats*, but happens right before muxing. Useful
because bitstream filters and the sync queue can modify packets after
encoding and before muxing. Also has access to the muxing timebase.
This is now possible since OutputStream is a child of OutputFile and the
code allocating it can access MuxStream. Avoids the overhead and extra
complexity of allocating two objects instead of one.
Similar to what was previously done for OutputFile/Muxer.
Replace it with an array of streams in each OutputFile. This is a more
accurate reflection of the actual relationship between OutputStream and
OutputFile. This is easier to handle and will allow further
simplifications in future commits.
This is now possible since the code allocating OutputFile can see
sizeof(Muxer). Avoids the overhead and extra complexity of allocating
two objects instead of one.
Similar to what is done e.g. for AVStream/FFStream in lavf.
