Currently, this patch to reimplement the function internally is preferred:
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2024-September/333854.html
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2024-September/333857.html

That's because it's been suggested by a maintainer and doesn't change the
API/ABI so we can pray it will be merged into the upcoming release and the
bug it was written for finally fixed.

Regarding the API, I don't know what purpose the function serves externally
but in my patch, I did attempt to deprecate all the previous API functions,
so you're welcome to extend it from there and make the replacement
interface use AVBPrint (idk much about that). I'm only interested in the
bugfix I mentioned.

Thanks for your interest in this patch :)
