(sorry if it's nonsense, I did not investigate in detail)
If the problem to solve is to ensure headers are regularly
repeated, that does not sound like a QSV-specific problem
and more a job for a bitstream filter.
There might even be code like that already for the
case when we convert from formats with global headers
to formats like MPEG-TS that want them repeated.
