I think we rather should make sure we really initialize all of the side data in the case of STEREO3D - then it's easier to spot missed initialization of other side data types, while this patch would hide other such issues.

OTOH, implicitly initializing all frame side data might be a useful detail (and could be regarded as a safety fallback - if someone misses to initialize something it will at least behave consistently).

Anton?
