Parser just splits bitstream into packets and packets are then passed to
decoders. Demuxer in such case pass fixed packet sizes to parser minus
optional header/trailer bytes.
There should be no reason for such complexity in parser and/or demuxer if
there are in bitstream valid markers for start/end of packet that is given
to decoder.

Unless this format uses packets that may be not byte aligned than and/or
markers are useless and/or there are no size info of each packet feed to
decoder in such case and only in such case current complexity is valid.

That is purely for visuals, and not relevant in discussing issues.
