Introducing artificial errors in Protocol Buffer stream

Is there a way to introduce artificial errors in a Protobuf stream from server to client running on the same PC? In this case, the data in question is a camera stream that should be corrupted by a lossy channel. Alternatively is it possible to have a streaming wrapper around the Protobuf object?

What's stopping you? It's just binary data, you can do whatever you want to it in your own code.

However, it is very unlikely that even a slightly corrupted protobuf stream would be decodeable, because the parser aborts on first error and the format is not self-synchronizing.
