*
* Global side data is handled as follows:
* - During demuxing, it may be exported through
* @ref AVStream.codecpar.side_data "AVStream's codec parameters", which can
* then be passed as input to decoders through the
* @ref AVCodecContext.coded_side_data "decoder context's side data", for

* - For muxing, it can be fed through @ref AVStream.codecpar.side_data
* "AVStream's codec parameters", typically the output of encoders through
* the @ref AVCodecContext.coded_side_data "encoder context's side data", for
* initialization.
*
* Packet specific side data is handled as follows:
* - During demuxing, it may be exported through @ref AVPacket.side_data
* "AVPacket's side data", which can then be passed as input to decoders.
* - For muxing, it can be fed through @ref AVPacket.side_data "AVPacket's
* side data", typically the output of encoders.
