  Here I don't quite follow. The problem in my opinion is to make 
client use interleave_packet() in the first place. Of course
one could argue that they are supposed to know the difference
between av_interleaved_write_frame() and av_write_frame() and
use them appropriately. However, currently for any application
with a flexible set of output formats there's no way short of:
  
    if (s->oformat->interleave_packet) {
        av_interleaved_write_frame(s, pkt);
    } else {
        av_write_frame(s, pkt);
    }
   
which seems to be kind of ugly to me ATM.

Thanks,
Roman.
