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.
