Oh, of course it _has_ one internally, it's just not part of the API.
x264_encoder_delayed_frames() accesses the internal data and gives it
to you.

I just don't see what you mean by "delayed frame counter"--the only
externally accessible delayed frame counter is
x264_encoder_delayed_frames.

This is true.
