So it is not FIXED.

Even easier: never use libavcodec. Kind of defeating the purpose. The
point of a library is to reduce the amount of code required by
applications. By adding that constraint, you either restrict what the
applications can do with the library or require more code from them.
Both are bad, both should be avoided if possible. And in this particular
case it is possible.

> On the contrary, handling unaligned data/linesize in the library is not easy.

It is very easy, I have already implemented it. The patch is on the
mailing-list since two months ago.
