   Thanks for the report and the PR. It may take a bit to get around to this due to relative priorities and limited resources, but I just wanted you to know it's been seen and is in the queue.

   Thanks for the update.

   Some relevant history: some 5 or 6 years ago Mozilla requested broader interoperability for object types 0x69 and 0x6B when carried in MPEG-4, and in response a proposal was made to MPEG to define decoder specific info for those object types in order to remove the remaining barriers to broader adoption. The problem with the decoder specific info documented here, originally present in Mozilla's version of Stagefright, was known at the time, but because it nevertheless offered the best available solution to achieve Mozilla's goal of broader interoperability, it's what the standards body approved. A fix in Stagefright was described, but in the transition to mp4parse-rust that fix never made its way into a build.

   Various parties can move forward on writing object types 0x69 and 0x6B with greater interoperability when the decoder specific info can be handled benignly.
