 Summary of the bug:

 When capturing some DVB-S and DVB-T broadcasts, we can see that the
 bitstream of the MPEG-2 and AVC/H.264 services include often the Active
 Format Description (adf):
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Format_Description

 This flag is usually transmited in:
 - MPEG-2: As "User Data" section (user id: "DTG1").
 - H.264: As "Auxiliary data" in a SEI unit (user id: "DTG1").

 None of the current mpeg2 and h264 encoders handle that flag. However, as
 the Bitstream Filters for MPEG-2 (mpeg2_metadata) and H.264
 (h264_metadata) can handle different flags similar to this, I request to
 add support for set/get the ADF flag.

 Thank you!
