本文基於FFmpeg 4.1版本。數據結構

1. 數據結構定義

struct AVPacket定義於<libavcodec/avcodec.h>app

struct AVPacket packet;

AVPacket中存儲的是通過編碼的壓縮數據。在解碼中，AVPacket由解複用器輸出到解碼器；在編碼中，AVPacket由編碼器輸出到複用器。下圖中，解複用器(demuxer)的輸出和複用器(muxer)的輸入「encoded data packets」的數據類型就是AVPacket：less

                                       _________
                                      |         |
                                      | decoded |
                                      | frames  |
                                      |_________|
 ________             ______________       |
|        |           |              |      |
| output | <-------- | encoded data | <----+
| file   |   muxer   | packets      |   encoder
|________|           |______________|

對於視頻而言，一個AVPacket一般只包含一個壓縮視頻幀。而對於音頻而言，一個AVPacket可能包含多個完整的音頻壓縮幀。AVPacket也能夠不包含壓縮編碼數據，而只包含side data，這種包能夠稱爲空packet。例如，編碼結束後只須要更新一些參數時就能夠發空packet。ide

AVPacket對象能夠在棧上分配，注意此處指的是AVPacket對象自己。而AVPacket中包含的數據緩衝區是經過av_malloc()在堆上分配的。
TODO: AVPacket對象在棧上分配，原理不清楚，待研究函數

/**
 * This structure stores compressed data. It is typically exported by demuxers
 * and then passed as input to decoders, or received as output from encoders and
 * then passed to muxers.
 *
 * For video, it should typically contain one compressed frame. For audio it may
 * contain several compressed frames. Encoders are allowed to output empty
 * packets, with no compressed data, containing only side data
 * (e.g. to update some stream parameters at the end of encoding).
 *
 * AVPacket is one of the few structs in FFmpeg, whose size is a part of public
 * ABI. Thus it may be allocated on stack and no new fields can be added to it
 * without libavcodec and libavformat major bump.
 *
 * The semantics of data ownership depends on the buf field.
 * If it is set, the packet data is dynamically allocated and is
 * valid indefinitely until a call to av_packet_unref() reduces the
 * reference count to 0.
 *
 * If the buf field is not set av_packet_ref() would make a copy instead
 * of increasing the reference count.
 *
 * The side data is always allocated with av_malloc(), copied by
 * av_packet_ref() and freed by av_packet_unref().
 *
 * @see av_packet_ref
 * @see av_packet_unref

音視頻數據緩衝區ui

uint8_t *data:
int size:
數據緩衝區地址與大小。音視頻編碼壓縮數據存儲於此片內存區域。此內存區域由AVBufferRef *buf管理。
AVBufferRef *buf:
數據緩衝區引用，也可叫引用計數緩衝區。對上一字段uint8_t *data指向的內存區域提供引用計數等管理機制。
AVBufferRef對數據緩衝區提供了管理機制，用戶不該直接訪問數據緩衝區。參考「FFmpeg數據結構AVBuffer」
若是buf值爲NULL，則data指向的數據緩衝區不使用引用計數機制。av_packet_ref(dst, src)將執行數據緩衝區的拷貝，而非僅僅增長緩衝區引用計數。
若是buf值非NULL，則data指向的數據緩衝區使用引用計數機制。av_packet_ref(dst, src)將不拷貝緩衝區，而僅增長緩衝區引用計數。av_packet_unref()將數據緩衝區引用計數減1，當緩衝區引用計數爲0時，緩衝區內存被FFmpeg回收。
對於struct AVPacket pkt對象，若是pkt.buf值非NULL，則有pkt.data == pkt.buf->data == pkt.buf->buffer.data

額外類型數據this

AVPacketSideData *side_data
int side_data_elems
由容器(container)提供的額外包數據。TODO: 待研究

packet屬性編碼

int64_t pts:
顯示時間戳。單位time_base，幀率的倒數。
int64_t dts:
解碼時間戳。單位time_base，幀率的倒數。
int stream_index:
當前包(packet)全部流(stream)的索引(index)。
int flags:
packet標誌位。好比是否關鍵幀等。
int64_t duration:
當前包解碼後的幀播放持續的時長。單位timebase。值等於下一幀pts減當前幀pts。
int64_t pos:
當前包在流中的位置，單位字節。

2. 關鍵函數實現

這裏列出的幾個關鍵函數，主要是爲了幫助理解struct AVPacket數據結構code

2.1 av_packet_ref()

int av_packet_ref(AVPacket *dst, const AVPacket *src)
{
    int ret;

    ret = av_packet_copy_props(dst, src);
    if (ret < 0)
        return ret;

    if (!src->buf) {
        ret = packet_alloc(&dst->buf, src->size);
        if (ret < 0)
            goto fail;
        if (src->size)
            memcpy(dst->buf->data, src->data, src->size);

        dst->data = dst->buf->data;
    } else {
        dst->buf = av_buffer_ref(src->buf);
        if (!dst->buf) {
            ret = AVERROR(ENOMEM);
            goto fail;
        }
        dst->data = src->data;
    }

    dst->size = src->size;

    return 0;
fail:
    av_packet_free_side_data(dst);
    return ret;
}

av_packet_ref()做了處理以下:

a) 若是src->buf爲NULL，則將src緩衝區拷貝到新建立的dst緩衝區，注意src緩衝區不支持引用計數，但新建的dst緩衝區是支持引用計數的，由於dst->buf不爲NULL。

b) 若是src->buf不爲空，則dst與src共用緩衝區，調用av_buffer_ref()增長緩衝區引用計數便可。av_buffer_ref()分析參考「FFmpeg數據結構AVBuffer」

2.2 av_packet_unref()

void av_packet_unref(AVPacket *pkt)
{
    av_packet_free_side_data(pkt);
    av_buffer_unref(&pkt->buf);
    av_init_packet(pkt);
    pkt->data = NULL;
    pkt->size = 0;
}

av_packet_unref()註銷AVPacket *pkt對象，並調用av_buffer_unref(&pkt->buf);將緩衝區引用計數減1。
av_buffer_unref()中將緩衝區引用計數減1後，若緩衝區引用計數變成0，則回收緩衝區內存。av_buffer_unref()分析參考「FFmpeg數據結構AVBuffer」
