Parser role is to extract metadata, frame the stream, transform the
stream format etc. Demuxer role is to split each stream and send them
over multiple pads. In general, user data is a stream, so it's demuxer
role to demux it and stream it on a separate pads.

Note that when we create new types, we usually respect the x- notation,
so data type should be something like video/x-user-data, that being
said, video/ is probably not opaque enough to represent user-data in
general.
