Maybe you should clarify that if the stream contains multiple packets, what will happen to AVStream.attached_pic. Will it contain all packets? Or only the first? Or some random?

I don't if it is better to use this flag along with attached pic instead of keeping it distinct from it.

Changing the semantics of attached pics streams (multiple packets, timed packets) seems quite a substantial change, so if it were up to me, I'd rather keep this new flag distinct.

Where do you benefit if you use ATTACHED_PIC for this as well?

Thanks,
