Is there a way to decode EncodedPackets with the registered custom decoders?

First, this is a wonderful library, thank you so much for taking the time to build it!

I have a question about decoding the packets returned from EncodedPacketSink. Looking through the source, I see that the VideoSampleSink internally creates a VideoDecoderWrapper that potentially returns a non-WebCodecs decoder.

mediabunny/src/media-sink.ts

Line 909 in b60d4ca

return new VideoDecoderWrapper(onSample, onError, codec, decoderConfig, rotation, timeResolution);

I know how to take EncodedPackets from an EncodedPacketSink and decode them directly with a WebCodecs VideoDecoder class, but if I want to support decoding using any of the extended video decoders, are there interfaces in MediaBunny exposed to support that?

Thanks!

Hey Josh, thank you so much!

No, there aren't, and this is an obvious hole in Mediabunny's API that I now realize. I'm planning to fix this in the near future with a new API that'll allow direct access to Mediabunny's full encoding/decoding stack without any of the muxing in between.

Thanks, looking forward to it :)
