 * passed around. It is notably used between the \ref demux, the packetizer
 * (if present) and the \ref decoder, and for audio, between the \ref decoder,
 * the audio filters, and the \ref audio_output.

 * - i_dts/i_pts could be VLC_TICK_INVALID, it means no pts/dts
 * - i_length: length in microsecond of the packet, can be null except in the

 *      you can freely decrease it but never increase it yourself
