So, now I am confused... Which NALs should go in "sprop-parameter-sets"?
(I am asking because I intended to commit the patch, but after reading
your comment I want to be sure).

When I originally read the RFC, I somehow got the impression that all
the NALs contained in the extradata are allowed to be in
sprop-parameter-sets. Now, re-reading the RFC I see that it mentions
"sequence and picture parameter set NAL units", which I assume to be SPS
and PPS... Is this wrong?
