in the quoted code you pass the address of a pointer to av_freep()
the address of a pointer is never NULL.
The check checks if the pointer is NULL, which is passed to free()
POSIX, says about free() that
"If ptr is a null pointer, no action shall occur."

ill make sure this is explicitly mentioned for av_freep() and not
just av_free()
