They are essential to be able to use the utils without av_malloc()
That is for example use with malloc(), memalign(), some other
private allocation function, on the stack or others.

The current API where the plain size is exposed is not of much
use - in most cases it is allocated dynamically anyway.
If allocated e.g. on the stack via an uint8_t array, there's no
guarantee that the struct's members are aligned properly (unless
the array is overallocated and the opaque pointer within it
manually aligned to some unspecified alignment).
