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.

The demuxer returned INVALIDDATA and failed to demux the remaining data
when an invalid stream index was read, now it just skips the asf packet
for the stream with an invalid stream index and continues demuxing.

The old one is the result of the reverse engineering and guesswork.
The new one has been written following the now-available specification.
This work is part of Outreach Program for Women Summer 2014 activities
for the Libav project.
The fate references had to be changed because the old demuxer truncates
the last frame in some cases, the new one handles it properly.
The seek-test reference is changed because seeking works differently
in the new demuxer. When seeking, the packet is not read from the stream
directly, but it is rather constructed by the demuxer. That is why
position is -1 now in the reference.

Similarly to what has been done for MOV, display XMP metadata only when
users explicitly require it.
The Extensible Metadata Platform tag can contain various kind of data
which are not strictly related to the video file, such as history of
edits and saves from the project file.
