OK. Thanks Carl.
So you're saying I should always override it with libvpx if the file I'm
loading is .webm ?
and if you don't mind - how do I override the codec on load ?
Is it in AVInputFormat by stipulating the extension and codec_tag ?

We're trying to integrate ffmpeg 4 with Pyglet.
Its all going very well but we have one issue:
- If a VP9 (or VP8) file is created using ffmpeg4 from png files with
alphas, we get a video file (webm) with alpha internally. (Excellent)
- ffmpeg -i image_seq%03d.png -qmin 0 -qmax 50 -crf 5 -b:v 1M output.webm
- The report from this CLI indicates that an alpha has been generated.
- Sample webm videos with alpha can be found on this page:
https://simpl.info/videoalpha/
- However on playing back we only get the RGB and do not get the alpha
unless we override the codec to be 'libvpx'.
Yes, this is a known limitation of the native decoder, luckily you
have already found the only known work-around - not to use it if
you need this feature.
If you really want to choose the decoder based on the alpha
layer, you can check AV_PKT_DATA_MATROSKA_BLOCKADDITIONAL
if the side_data starts with (uint64_t) 1 there is a transparency layer.
It is probably simpler to always use the libvpx decoder.
