/**

 *
 * To open a file and prepare it for decoding, the general procedure is
 *   -# Initialise AVbin by calling avbin_init()
 *   -# Open a file using avbin_open_filename()
 *   -# Retrieve details of the file using avbin_file_info().  The resulting
 *      _AVbinFileInfo structure includes details such as:
 *        - Start time and duration
 *        - Number of audio and video streams
 *        - Metadata such as title, artist, etc.
 *   -# Examine details of each stream using avbin_stream_info(), passing
 *      in each stream index as an integer from 0 to n_streams.  For
 *      video streams, the _AVbinStreamInfo structure includes
 *        - Video width and height, in pixels
 *        - Pixel aspect ratio, expressed as a fraction
 *        .
 *      For audio streams, the structure includes
 *        - Sample rate, in Hz
 *        - Bits per sample
 *        - Channels (monoaural, stereo, or multichannel surround)
 *   -# For each stream you intend to decode, call avbin_open_stream().
 *   
 * When all information has been determined and the streams are open, you can
 * proceed to read and decode the file:
 *   -# Call avbin_read() to read a packet of data from the file.
 *   -# Examine the resulting _AVbinPacket structure for the stream_index,
 *      which indicates how the packet should be decoded.  If the stream is
 *      not one that you have opened, you can discard the packet and continue
 *      with step 1 again.
 *   -# To decode an audio packet, repeatedly pass the data within the packet
 *      to avbin_decode_audio(), until there is no data left to consume or an
 *      error is returned.
 *   -# To decode a video packet, pass the data within the packet to
 *      avbin_decode_video(), which will decode a single image in RGB format.
 *   -# Synchronise audio and video data by observing the
 *      _AVbinPacket::timestamp member.
 *
 * When decoding is complete, call avbin_close_stream() on each stream and
 * avbin_close_file() on the open file.
