 c11fb46731 led to a regression whereby the return code for missing
 input or input probe is overridden by writer close return code and
 hence not conveyed in the exit code.

 Affects 5.1 so will need to be backported there.

 maybe we should give priority to input_ret in case they are both
 negative?

 return input_ret < 0 ? input_ret : ret;

Scripts usually depend on exit code being 0 or something else. Also, error is logged for both input failure and writer_close failure, so it doesn't matter. Finally, input_ret is not initialized if writer_open fails, so we shouldn't be referencing it outside.

I would do something like

ret2 = writer_close();
ret = FFMIN(ret2, ret);

But fine either way, please push any version you prefer, this has been broken for too long. Sorry about that.

Thanks,
Marton
