Good answer.

So I have an outstanding question regards the LATM bsf.
I have a parser for LATM which uses a specific codec ID, which is set
in mpegts.c.  The parser packetizes the stream. The filter removes
the LATM wrapping and leaves RAW AAC data. How do I now get that
into the AAC codec? Do I set the codec_id in the AVCodecContext
that is passed to the filter function to CODEC_ID_AAC so the
data is routed to the AAC decoder?

Also, not that I may have to make patches to ffmpeg.c so I can
specify an input bsf and/or an output bsf. So the BSF can be applied
after before decoding or after encoding.

Perhaps BSFs need to specify an in or out, unwrap/wrap mode.

Cheers,
Paul
