demuxer.rs

//! [`mediadecode::demuxer::Demuxer`] impl backed by `libavformat`.
//!
//! Opens a container — from a path, or from any `Read + Seek` reader
//! through a custom `AVIOContext` — reads its track table once, and
//! then hands packets out one at a time in interleaved file order.
//!
//! # What normalization this layer does
//!
//! libavformat's track table is not quite the one the demux tier
//! promises, and the gap is entirely about attachments:
//!
//! - **Cover art is an attachment, not video.** A still image in an
//!   MP3, FLAC or MP4 arrives as a video stream carrying
//!   `AV_DISPOSITION_ATTACHED_PIC`. This layer maps it to
//!   [`TrackKind::Attachment`], so the `Video` arm carries true motion
//!   video and nothing else.
//! - **A font's bytes are not in the packet stream at all.** An
//!   `AVMEDIA_TYPE_ATTACHMENT` stream never produces a packet; its
//!   payload lives in `AVCodecParameters.extradata`. This layer
//!   synthesizes the packet at open time.
//! - **Cover art's packet is hoisted.** libavformat parks the real
//!   packet in `AVStream.attached_pic`; some demuxers also emit it in
//!   the packet stream, some do not. This layer takes it from
//!   `attached_pic` at open time and drops the duplicate if it ever
//!   arrives, so the count is exactly one either way.
//!
//! Both kinds are queued at open — every attachment track, without
//! exception, or the open fails. That is what makes the face's "exactly
//! one packet, before any timed packet" true *by construction* here:
//! the queue is complete and drains before the first `av_read_frame`
//! call ever runs, so no packet on an attachment track can be anything
//! but a duplicate, and no seek can move a packet that was never on the
//! timeline.
//!
//! # Seeking
//!
//! `seek` converts the target to `AV_TIME_BASE` units and calls
//! `avformat_seek_file` over the window `[i64::MIN, target]`, which is
//! FFmpeg's backward convention: the landing point is the nearest
//! keyframe at or before the target, never after. `avformat_seek_file`
//! flushes libavformat's own buffers; this layer clears the EOF latch
//! it set itself, and deliberately does **not** touch the attachment
//! bookkeeping — an attachment already handed out is never handed out
//! again, and one not yet handed out is still owed.
