AV1Packet incompatible with sample builder

[danjenkins]

When trying to use AV1Packet as a depacketiser I get an error...

cannot use &(codecs.AV1Packet literal) (value of type *"github.com/pion/rtp/codecs".AV1Packet) as "github.com/pion/rtp".Depacketizer value in assignment: *"github.com/pion/rtp/codecs".AV1Packet does not implement "github.com/pion/rtp".Depacketizer (missing method IsPartitionHead)

I was hoping the solution was just as simple as patching https://github.com/pion/rtp/blob/master/codecs/av1_packet.go with:

but I'm a bit skeptical.

@tmatth did you try it out? I can give it a go if not?

I did not, it's basically just the same code from the vp9 depacketizer and I'm guessing it means it's checking the RTP marker bit (which is also at position 0x08 for av1), see:
https://aomediacodec.github.io/av1-rtp-spec/#42-rtp-header-marker-bit-m vs.
https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-payload-vp9-09.html#rfc.section.4.1

but again I'd be surprised if this worked.

Any news on this fix?

@tmatth I'm pretty sure your patch is not correct.

IsPartitionHead should be checking the Z bit in the AV1 aggregation header. That's bit 0x80, see https://aomediacodec.github.io/av1-rtp-spec/#44-av1-aggregation-header.

You'll also need some code to remove the aggregation headers when you generate samples. This will require some changes to the samplebuilder itself.

I kind of assumed that'd be the case.

That's good to know. FWIW I started working an rtp muxer for AV1 in C so that should give me a better handle on the format, but if someone else wants to take a stab at this here it'd be most welcome.

Oh I see you've already started on this, tremendous: #264
