Its in bad for now and we are aware that the name is far from perfect. Any
better suggestion is welcome. But have a look at e.g. xmp website before and see
the amount of formats covered. Having separate xmpmux/demux, exifmux/demux and
ipctmux/demux would need a utillity lib (was proposed already but rejected) and
suffers from the problem that you coudl have all three in any order (nedds
careful caps media-type design).
