Normally, video packets are muxed before audio packets for mxf (there is
a dedicated interleave function for this); furthermore the first (video)
packet triggers writing the actual header. Yet when the first video packet
fails the checks performed on it, codec_ul (a value set based upon
properties of the bitstream which necessitates actually inspecting
packets) may be NULL; the next packet written (an audio packet) will then
trigger outputting the header and this leads to a segfault because
codec_ul is dereferenced (this is ticket #7993). Therefore this commit
discards audio packets until a valid video packet has been received,
fixing said ticket.


I don't think in general it is expected by muxers to do anything useful if a write_packet call fails and a subsequent write_packet call is attempted. A write_packet call error is not an error a muxer can recover from, and attempting another write_packet seems like undefined behaviour to me, admittedly this is not really documented.

In the ticket above, it is write_trailer that is crashing because write_trailer tries to output more packets after an earlier write_packet failure. So I wonder if it would make more sense to change write trailer to not try to flush packets at all, because the muxer is already in a failed state, and only cleanup (calling ->write_trailer()) is a sane thing to do, not writing packets.

Marton

This implements what I had originally in mind to fix said ticket and it
is also what Baptiste Coudurier wanted [1]. The main obstacle in fixing
it was fixing the mxf-d10-user-comments test (with this patch, the old
test would output nothing at all).
