I've patched lavformat to create the avcC atom using the extradata infos
It is a really small patch, very similar to the code used for esds atom for
mp4/aac (10 lines or so). It is simple because the full atom is passed as
extraData to be as symetric as possible.

The problem is creating the avcC atom. I thought i built it ok, but apparently
not since the result are those funny files that crash libavcodec.
