Your patch generates invalid/broken h264. The current code generates broken
ones too but they dont work which prevents them from spreading. Thus your
patch clearly makes it worse, the issue is not fixed it just appears that it
is. The spliting API in ffmpeg has to be changed to allow spliting random
subsets of the headers out. Please see the mailing list where i described
this more precissely IIRC.

Find out why this changes and explain it to us, until then the patch is

The regression tests have a purpose, that is to catch regressions, every
change to the values must be fully understood or the change will not happen
in ffmpeg svn.
