Then how to let decoder see new extradata? Access bsf directly?
I’m OK to revert this after extradata can be synced to decoder properly.

AVCodecContext::extradata is owned by codec. Updating extradata can
be a little surprise, but it’s less surprise than change codec id in bsf.

What are the boundaries/limits of bsf’s functionality? Is it allowed for a bsf
to update media type? I remember there is a trac with samples which
can be handled with a video to audio bsf.
