Currently, AVStream contains an embedded AVCodecContext instance, which
is used by demuxers to export stream parameters to the caller and by
muxers to receive stream parameters from the caller. It is also used
internally as the codec context that is passed to parsers.
In addition, it is also widely used by the callers as the decoding (when
demuxer) or encoding (when muxing) context, though this has been
officially discouraged since Libav 11.
There are multiple important problems with this approach:
- the fields in AVCodecContext are in general one of
* stream parameters
* codec options
* codec state
However, it's not clear which ones are which. It is consequently
unclear which fields are a demuxer allowed to set or a muxer allowed to
read. This leads to erratic behaviour depending on whether decoding or
encoding is being performed or not (and whether it uses the AVStream
embedded codec context).
- various synchronization issues arising from the fact that the same
context is used by several different APIs (muxers/demuxers,
parsers, bitstream filters and encoders/decoders) simultaneously, with
there being no clear rules for who can modify what and the different
processes being typically delayed with respect to each other.
- avformat_find_stream_info() making it necessary to support opening
and closing a single codec context multiple times, thus
complicating the semantics of freeing various allocated objects in the
codec context.
Those problems are resolved by replacing the AVStream embedded codec
context with a newly added AVCodecParameters instance, which stores only
the stream parameters exported by the demuxers or read by the muxers.
So far an AC-3 elementary stream is refered to in the PMT according to
System A (ATSC). However System B (DVB) has a different way to signal an AC-3
ES within the PMT. This different way can be enabled by a new flag. The flag is
more generally named 'system_b' as there are further differences between ATSC
and DVB (e.g. the signalling of E-AC-3) which should then also be covered by it
in the future.

Make sure we don't buffer up more than max_delay worth of data
before writing a PES packet, even if pes_payload_size is set to
a larger value.

If opening and closing dynamic buffers as AVIOContext, we may
not have any AVIOContext available when wanting to close and
deallocate the muxer. Allow calling write_trailer despite this.

Prevent out of array writes.
Similar to what Michael Niedermayer did to address the same issue.

Previously, AVStream.codec.time_base was used for that purpose, which
was quite confusing for the callers. This change also opens the path for
removing AVStream.codec.
The change in the lavf-mkv test is due to the native timebase (1/1000)
being used instead of the default one (1/90000), so the packets are now
sent to the crc muxer in the same order in which they are demuxed
(previously some of them got reordered because of inexact timestamp
conversion).
Also move the declaration to internal.h, and add restrict qualifiers
to the declaration (as in the implementation).

This adds the avoption mpegts_flags and converts the existing
resend_headers option into a flag, keeping the old option as
fallback for now.

Make the muxers/demuxers that use the field handle the default
-1 in the same way as 0.
This allows distinguishing an intentionally set 0 from the default
value where the user hasn't set it.

With the current default PES packet size, and very small audio bitrates,
audio packet duration gets too long. For players, which wait for a whole
audio packet (or more) it takes a very long time to start playing sound.
For 24kbps audio, one PES packet is about 1 second long. On Motorola STBs,
we observe about 3 second delay before the playback starts with the
default setting.
