I would welcome the resurrection of avformat flush. This is the only
internal API used by XBMC/Kodi indeed.
To work wih the public API I carry a patch [2] reimplementing the
function in Kodi, but I would prefer using it as part of the public
API.
CC-ing Joakim who started using the function in XBMC and FernetMenta
who also worked on this part of the code.
First related commit I found was tnis one:
