I dont know what it should do ;)
originally both the allocated size and the written out matched

iam ok with this, also there might be alternative solutions iam ok with
but please fix the documentation of avpicture_get_size()

also a patch changing all the palettes in ffmpeg to RGBA (that is endian
independant) is welcome in principle but this would be alot of work ...
