Thanks for investigating this.
I am not sure, but I suspect this QT player behaviour might be a bug...
If I remember the RFC correctly, sprop-parameter-sets can contain
additional NALs respect to SPS and PPS... No?

If this is the case, I wold not modify the SDP generator only for making
QT player happy (the extradata can be filtered before invoking
avf_sdp_create()).
