That's not very nice, it means and application needs a reverse data path from
decoder to demuxer to tell it what value it needs.
At least it should be done in a way that an application at least also has the choice
of querying a padding value sufficient for all codecs.
In the worst case by just querying all registered codecs, though I'd find it preferable
if it was possible to get that value without having to register the codecs first or
explicitly link against avcodec.
