Android: Miracast: prependSPSPPSToIDRFrames

In Android 4.2 release, I observe that the miracast implementation mandates an OMX encoder to support a new extension index "OMX.google.android.index.prependSPSPPSToIDRFrames". However, when I studied the subsequent implementation of MediaCodec, Converter and WifiDisplaySource, I observe that there is enough support in the existing framework to support this feature without the need of adding another index for the OMX component.

Can someone please confirm if my understanding is correct? If so, can you kindly provide some further information on reasons/rationale behind the same?

Thanks.

I have found the answers to my question in latest release of Android 4.2.2. As per my earlier question, Google has decided to support both an index inside the OMX Component as well as a Stagefright framework level handling of prepend SPS and PPS to IDR frames. This way an OMX Component needn't support the new index. The creation of the component from ACodec interface doesn't fail and the framework takes up the responsibility of prepend.
