 At line 356 of `libavutil/frame.c` is the following call to
 `av_malloc_array`:


 {{{
 dst->extended_data = av_malloc_array(sizeof(*dst->extended_data), ch);
 }}}


 Looks like the arguments are the wrong way around. First is `nmemb` and
 second is the size of each member:


 {{{
 av_alloc_size(1, 2) void *av_malloc_array(size_t nmemb, size_t size);
 }}}

 This was flagged by gcc's `-Wcalloc-transposed-args`.
