I guess the problem that I keep getting hung up on after that is how to create the additional stream to have a type of AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO and at least an id of AV_CODEC_ID_SMPTE_KLV, from the output of ffprobe it certainly seems like this is recognized by ffmpeg but I can't figure out how to do it.  For the video stream at least I do avformat_new_stream(avFormatContext, avCodec), but since there is no codec for the KLV data (NULL is returned from avcodec_find_encoder), I guess I am a little confused on how to get to that point.  The end that I need to find eventually is getting down to av_interleaved_write_frame where the AVFormatContext has a valid data stream.

To me, it looks like this KLV thing is supported for muxing/demuxing
only (as in, libavformat can read and write raw packet data from/to
these streams).

You're wondering what AVCodec to pass to avformat_new_stream()? It
seems the API allows passing NULL. Then you have to initialize the
codec fields (not sure which) yourself, though.
