Would dec_Create have to handle the thread's end & errors ?

I like the idea to keep many symbols such as dec_prepare, dec_init,
dec_decode, dec_end because it seems more modular. Notice that I have no
idea about what to do whith this modularity.

I'll do as you decide, I don't know the code enough to be able to
decide.
