i vote for v/v, so it could be VLC-like coded.

btw i would add one entry to the goals:
- eaisly readable/editable in HEX editor/viwer
yes it look stsupid but it isn't :)

the only thing it expects to avoid variable length bitfields, like:
        lsb_timestamp                           u(lsb_timestamp_length)
        stream_id                               u(log2_stream_count)
        priority                                u(2)

i think that 'v' type is far enough for the stream_id.
