mp3 supports AV_PKT_DATA_SKIP_SAMPLES since FFmpeg 2.5
ogg opus sets codecpar->initial_padding like this patch would
so does dtshddec and matroskadec

AV_PKT_DATA_SKIP_SAMPLES is not a substitute for setting
trailing_padding because with AV_PKT_DATA_SKIP_SAMPLES the
trailing_padding only becomes available at the end of the stream

also theres nothing wrong with AV_PKT_DATA_SKIP_SAMPLES, its local
information for the current packet and there may indeed be cases
like with concatenated streams where there are packets in the middle
with discarding. So the 2 AVCodecParameters fields are not a substitute
for AV_PKT_DATA_SKIP_SAMPLES

also for encoding AV_PKT_DATA_SKIP_SAMPLES does not work with some
formats the trailing_padding is needed to be known when writing the
header

the patch does look like a reasonable step to me but i might be
missing something
