Andreas Rheinhardt 259026b457 avformat/avformat: Clarify documentation of av_interleaved_write_frame()
The earlier documentation claimed that av_interleaved_write_frame()
always orders by dts, which is not necessarily true when using muxers
with custom interleavement functions or the audio_preload option.

Furthermore, the documentation stated that libavformat takes ownership
of the reference of the provided packet (if it is refcounted) and that
the caller may not access the data through this reference after the
function returns. This suggests that the returned packet is not blank,
but instead still contains some set, but invalid fields, which implies
that it would be dangerous to unreference this packet again.

But this is not true: av_interleaved_write_frame()'s actual behaviour
is to always output blank packet (even on error). This commit documents
this fact so that callers know that they can directly reuse this packet.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides a mean to alter decoded Audio and Video through chain of filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.

Documentation
