/**
* \defgroup ancillary Ancillary
* \ingroup input
*
* Ancillary that can be attached to any vlc_frame_t or picture_t.
*
* Ancillaries can be created from:
* - packetized demuxer modules,
* - packetizer modules,
* - decoder modules.
*
* @warning Ancillaries should not be attached from a non packetized demuxer
* module since the attachment to the vlc_frame will be lost by the packetizer
* module that will be automatically inserted.
*
* Ancillaries are automatically forwarded from a vlc_frame_t to an other
* vlc_frame_t and from a picture_t to an other picture_t. This allow to keep
* ancillaries untouched when audio filters or video filters are used (these
* filters don't have to know about the ancillary).
*
* Ancillary readers can be either:
* - A decoder module,
* - An audio output,
* - A video output,
* - A video or audio filter.
