Currently, AVStream contains an embedded AVCodecContext instance, which
is used by demuxers to export stream parameters to the caller and by
muxers to receive stream parameters from the caller. It is also used
internally as the codec context that is passed to parsers.
In addition, it is also widely used by the callers as the decoding (when
demuxer) or encoding (when muxing) context, though this has been
officially discouraged since Libav 11.
There are multiple important problems with this approach:
- the fields in AVCodecContext are in general one of
* stream parameters
* codec options
* codec state
However, it's not clear which ones are which. It is consequently
unclear which fields are a demuxer allowed to set or a muxer allowed to
read. This leads to erratic behaviour depending on whether decoding or
encoding is being performed or not (and whether it uses the AVStream
embedded codec context).
- various synchronization issues arising from the fact that the same
context is used by several different APIs (muxers/demuxers,
parsers, bitstream filters and encoders/decoders) simultaneously, with
there being no clear rules for who can modify what and the different
processes being typically delayed with respect to each other.
- avformat_find_stream_info() making it necessary to support opening
and closing a single codec context multiple times, thus
complicating the semantics of freeing various allocated objects in the
codec context.
Those problems are resolved by replacing the AVStream embedded codec
context with a newly added AVCodecParameters instance, which stores only
the stream parameters exported by the demuxers or read by the muxers.
Otherwise it is impossible to make '-movflags +rtphint' bitexact after
FF_API_LAVF_BITEXACT has been disabled.

rtpenc_chain: Pass the initial time_base hint on to the chained muxer
See: [FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat/rtpenc_chain: Set timebase
Merged-by: Michael Niedermayer <michaelni@gmx.at>
In practice this hint is ignored - the rtp muxer always overwrites
the stream time base without taking the hint into account. But as
a general practice this is the correct way to pass a time base hint
on to a chained muxer.
This avoids warnings about using the codec time base as hint
being deprecated.

rtpenc_chain: Don't copy the time base to the source stream by default
See: 1fe40e1b05
Merged-by: Michael Niedermayer <michaelni@gmx.at>
Only copy it manually in the muxers where it makes sense (rtspenc,
sapenc). Don't touch the original AVStream in movenchint, where
the original AVStream should be kept untouched.
This fixes the normal tracks in RTP hinted files after
abb810db - the hint tracks were ok while the normal media tracks
were broken, noticed by Michael Niedermayer.
This reverts abb810db but achieves the same effect for the other
muxers.

Revert "rtpenc_chain: Don't copy the time_base back to the caller"
Merged-by: Michael Niedermayer <michaelni@gmx.at>
While it strictly isn't necessary to copy the time base (since
any use of it is scaled in ff_write_chained), it still is better
to signal the actual time base to the caller, avoiding one
unnecessary rescaling. This also lets the caller know what the
actual internal time base is, in case that is useful info
for some caller.
This reverts commit 397ffde115.

rtpenc_chain: Use the original AVFormatContext for getting payload type
rtp: Make sure the output format pointer is set
Merged-by: Michael Niedermayer <michaelni@gmx.at>
In ff_rtp_get_payload_type, the AVFormatContext is used for checking
whether the payload_type or rtpflags options are set. In rtpenc_chain,
the rtpctx struct is a newly initialized struct where no options have
been set yet, so no options can be fetched from there.
All muxers that internally chain rtp muxers have the "rtpflags" field
that allows passing such options on (which is how this worked before
8034130e06), so this works just as intended.
This makes it possible to produce H263 in RFC2190 format with chained
RTP muxers.

It doesn't look fit to be a part of the public API.
Adding a temporary hack to ffserver to be able to use it, should be
cleaned up when somebody is up for it.
If required, the caller can do this itself. ff_write_chained rescales
timestamps as necessary, and all current callers of rtpenc_chain
use ff_write_chained, making this timebase copy unnecessary.

(cherry picked from commit 397ffde115)
This avoids having the chained AVStream->codec point to the same
AVCodecContext owned by the outer AVStream. The downside is that
changes to the AVCodecContext made after calling av_write_header
cannot be detected automatically within the chained muxer.
This avoids having to manually unlink the chained AVStream->codec
by setting it to null before freeing the chained muxer via generic
freeing functions.
