The syntax was correct, but less readable, and it unnecessarily zeroed
the fields other than "type".
Create the event properly, from a separate method.
When the video stream socket is closed and read_packey() returns -1,
av_read_frame() still returns 0.
To detect EOF, check the flag eof_reached in the AVIOContext.
This avoids garbage errors on closing.
Expose frames_offer_decoded_frame() and frames_consume_rendered_frame()
so that callers are not exposed to frame swapping (between the decoding
and rendering frames) details.
The skip_frames flag was a non-configurable runtime flag. Since it is
not exposed to the user, there is no need for a (possible) runtime cost.
For testing purpose, we still want it to be configurable, so make it a
compilation flag.
