Using git blame, I have identified the following commit, which
introduces the error message cited above to libavcodec/utils.c:
commit 0eea212943544d40f99b05571aa7159d78667154

Justin, it seems that additionally to what is documented above, this
change breaks applications such as gst-ffmpeg, which have successfully
used avcodec_decode_audio3() with a custom get_buffer(). If this is
correct, what can we do to restore this functionality? Would the
following patch be likely to unbreak gst-ffmpeg?
