I agree that this is not a general solution. However, I found out that the
proprietary decoder (I do not have the sources) that I have to work with can
decode some very specific files (interleaved divx on avi containers) only if it
has a clue on the needed input buffer size.

I think that the the value in the AVI header can be considered a valuable hint
on the input buffer size. As we have it, we can pass it around and it might be
helpful (it actually is for me). I would say that is harmless to do so, we are
just providing more information in case it is needed, regardless of any future
more general solution.
