I would like mythcommflag logs with `-v libav:debug` from both master 
and ffmpeg-resync.

It appears that since add_section_stream() reuses the SectionContext if 
it already exists, this leads to two DSMCC streams with the same value 
of the pointer priv_data which then is double freed since it is freed 
with each stream.

This should fix the double free, but I need you to test if the 
DSMCC/MHEG streams still work correctly since I can't:
```

```
