Actually, I don't think that this should be done in a BSF at all. For
the reasons outlined above.

So a BSF for only one caller (lavf)?

And it happens twice, which is wasteful.

I think we should never come in a scenario where this can happen.

If one were to use a BSF for this, then sending the descriptor via
extradata would be the way to go.
