I do not think this is the point; I think the point is that the H.264
codec should output a raw H.264 stream, not something format dependent.
(anyway, I use extradata for some H.264 streaming experiments I am
doing.
My current code can stream NALs without having to know if the
CODEC_FLAG_GLOBAL_HEADER is set or not; with your patch I'd have to
write different code for the CODEC_FLAG_GLOBAL_HEADER case).

At the cost of showing all my ignorance, I have to admit that I do not
see the "AVC format" defined in the MPEG4 Part 10 draft I have here...
It seems to me that the format described there is the one produced by
the current code.
Where is the AVC format defined?

Anyway, as I said I do not know much about this stuff, so I'll shut up
now. I think in the list there are people more competent than me that
will figure out how to do address this issue in the proper way.
