"Cant be that hard - or? "

Okay now im pretty sure it is:

I read AVCodecContex.extradata contains the informations i need. For 
decoding i used that code -> 
http://cgit.lscube.org/cgit.cgi/feng/tree/src/media/parser/h264.c#n218 - 
in a slightly modified way (replaced glib functions with e.g. libavs 
base64.h). Finally the decoding stuff is running - BUT...

my AVCodecContext.extradata_size == 0 <- what the heck?!? So no data for 
decoding and really no idea left how to get those informations.... WHAA!

I make desperate efforts but i cant get into that...

At least i need another hint. Im not asking for complete solution - its 
enough to know roughly the right way!
