	AVMap opts = av_map_create(cmp, NULL, NULL);
	av_map_add(opts, "threads", "12");
	av_map_add(opts, "crf", "18");
	av_map_add(opts, "preset", "veryslow");
	av_map_assert_small(opts);
	ret = av_codec_open3(ctx, codec, opts);

> i like av_map_new() because "new" is short

The exact name does not matter to me. I forgot that we usually use
_alloc() for the case you implemented, so _new() is absolutely fine for
this.

av_map_assert_small() should assert that no dynamic allocation happened,
and at assert level 2 that the internal buffer is less than halfway full.

> and sizeof(AVMap) is not public API

It should be public API like I did for BPrint, that is my point.
