Containers have specific fields/packets to store metadata, in nut there are info packets, other containers similarly have their fields for it. CODEC_TYPE_DATA, subtitle stream, anything XML is not a solution. libavformat supports some simple metadata through AVFormatContext.author/title/... More complete well designed metadata support patches are welcome.
