Make it clear that there is no timing-dependent behavior. In particular, there is no state in which both input and output are denied, and where you have to wait for a while yourself to make progress (apparently some hardware decoders like to do this). Avoid wording that makes references to time. It shouldn't be mistaken for some kind of asynchronous API (like POSIX read() can return EAGAIN if there is no new input yet). It's a state machine, so try to use appropriate terms. Signed-off-by: Diego Biurrun <diego@biurrun.de>
