Log: trying to end the codec id battle
I hate this kind of blitzkrieg, that tries to establish new Status Quo. I'm afraid you just turn a struggle into full scale war. Actually this is how our struggle with Diego started. He ignored the discussion and made highly disputable commit. Then things escalated. Do you want the same?

That would be better to be named "SourceStreamTag" . I'd also like to have "SourceEncoder" that contains the name and version of the encoder.

BTW, why chapter_id/start/len are mandatory fields in the info packet and not entries like all the rest?
