Hi

Some encoders provide the ability to reconfigure the encoders
mid-stream, most notably libx264 has this ability (over 2 years now)
via the call to x264_encoder_reconfig. See
http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/archives/286.

I think it would be useful if the ffmpeg API supported this ability to
do this. So for encoder that dont support this, then a call would be a
no-op.

Do you gusy think this would be a useful feature?
