Probably better, if you return AVERROR(EINVAL) in case of an invalid 
option, and check for a negative return value to detect an error, 
that is the way most functions work in ffmpeg.

I may miss something, but is this necessary here? In case of an error, you 
will call tee_process_slave_failure explictly requiring not to close the 
slave... You should consider always closing the slave there, it would make 
the code easier to follow IMHO.

If you always close the slave here, the needs_closing parameter will 
become unnecessary.

breathing space missing in text.

Here you already changed the order of the tee->nb_slaves assignment I 
mentioned in my comments of the second patch in the series, on the other 
hand you do not check for possible null tee_slave->avf in close_slave(s).

awkward space after i variable.
