This is actually how flash does things. Embedded video frames (inside a SWF) is contained in a videoframe where the used codec is identified using a number (see http://sswf.sourceforge.net/SWFalexref.html#tag_definevideostream), and it is this number i'm talking about (Klaus too i guess) when talking about codecIDs. FLV consists of frames using the same IDs (http://osflash.org/flv), including audio where specific IDs also means specific codecs. This is why i think we have to choose some IDs to match codecs.
