Being a "fuzz-only check" is not a well-defined concept. Anything a fuzzer
does could in principle also happen due to file corruption.
For header parsing such errors could also happen if a file gets misdetected
and thus a wrong demuxer is used.

So what do you mean with "fuzz-only check"?
For example, would you consider the error check I quoted in the other
thread [1] a "fuzz-only check"?

It's clear that you prefer fewer log messages than I do, but in the absence
of a general consensus about this topic, every author/maintainer can decide
which log messages are wanted in their own code.

Best regards,
Andreas
