I am not sure this is correct: the buffer is const for a reason, the warning
is right. An application would be completely allowed to give a buffer in
read-only memory, or to reuse the contents of the buffer afterwards.

Actually, I suspect this muxer, if used as first output in the tee muxer,
would cause the next outputs to be corrupt.

The correct fix would probably be to allocate a new buffer, probably keeping
it in the context for performances reasons instead of allocating each time.

Regards,
